	hi everyone. I wanted to post this because we have to have some humor in our lives, right? Jeff and I always used to laugh at the ED drug commercials where they'd say if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention. Then after being diagnosed with PCa and having surgery, Jeff would say "if only that could happen!" well, for some strange reason (maybe the holiday celebratory mood) he decided to take 2 Levitras instead of one, and yes, he had an erection for over 4 hours. he didn't have multiple orgasms and I finally told him to take it elsewhere. he kept saying we need to do something with this! it was pretty funny. anyway, I hope this doesn't bother anyone - I just wanted to share some laughs with you. May this new year bring all of us great health, peace and prosperity. kat Husband Jeff 56 years old diagnosed July 27, 2006 PSA 6.5, 2 positive areas in biopsy, Gleason 3+3=6 Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy August 30, 2006 pathology report - all clear - cancer gone 1st post-surgery PSA test <0.1, 2nd post-surgery PSA test <0.1, 3rd PSA <0.1 no more pads Oct 12, 2006 first "real" erection with use of pump 12/16/06 3/07 - occasional dribbles and erections with Cialis and pump 8/07 - 1 yr PSA <0.1 9/1/07 - achieved erection with Viagra - no pump! 3/08 - 18 mo PSA <0.1 switched to Levitra - works much better than Viagra & Cialis - fewer side affects summer of 2008 - have had a few erections with no drugs! yeah!! 8/08 - 2 yr PSA <0.1 Back to Top

	I was concerned about 4-hour erections when I first started injections. However I needn't have worried. To be a medical problem, the erection has to be rock hard at four hours -- this means that there is no blood outflow. Apparently there is pain too. Those of us injecting who still have soft and declining erections at four hours with no pain have no cause for concern. A four-hour erection with Levitra is something to celebrate -- it means you are well on the road to recovery! Age 63.

	I have only had one that lasted 4 hours, the first- a Caverject Impulse 40mcg. injection. Rock hard at the end of 4 hours and steadily getting more aching and painful. I walk to Walgreens at midnight in the snow and 3 Sudafeds took care of it. I've been very careful since then not to overodse it. James C.

	How about six hours and a trip to the doctor (on a Saturday!) to aspirate all of the blood stuck in there? It was not pretty. Sex didn't help. A brisk walk didn't help. The Sudafed didn't help either. What a mess. My husband can kind of laugh about it now, but whenever the physician's assistant discusses injections now, my husband starts shaking his head. I wonder why?

	Hey Kat, My first Trimix injection resulted in a 6 hour boner and it was the dose that the doc recommended. (MaryLu was worried. I told her it was probably going to be permanent.) Needless to say I cut the dose in half next time. Then it only lasted 4 hours. Cut it in half again and finally got a good hour with no pain. I'd like to find a uro that has been through all this stuff himself. Jim Age 74. Diagnosed 11/03/06. PSA 7.05. Stage T2C Gleason 3+3. RRP 12/7/06. Nerves and nodes okay. Catheter out on 12/13/06.

	Today was my day for the overzealous penile injection. I had had a very pathetic response on Wednesday with bimix solution at 20 ml, so I was hoping today for something a little better for my wife and I. I had some trimix left over in a vial (switched to bimix to decrease pain of trimix) which was almost expired so I figured it wasn't that strong anymore, injected 23 ml. BIG MISTAKE. I did have a good time with wife for about 3 minutes and then I paid the price for the next 3 1/2 hours. Big and painful. Trimix is definately stronger than bimix, I'd forgotten that. Thanks for info on sudafed, I'll make sure and have a supply in the house, no more trimix over 15 ml for me................... Back to Top

	Don't get 'A Dick-'D Ted' to this phenomena, anyone been called Studly Do Right? Is this a one Gun salute, that doesn't get dismissed. Is this like the fight in the dog analogy, but with better living thru chemistry???? Are women jealous or do they have a 4+ hour drug deal for them???? Glad someone else can inform us of the highs and lows on this, I can imagine this reaching 2000 level responses or readings! *Youth is wasted on the Young-(W.C. Fields)* Back to Top
