Bizarre or lucky patient

Hi there,

I thought I would share this publication with you as it shows just what a bizarre or lucky patient I am.
When I look at my diagnosis at age 55 with a PSA of 133 -142, BMI of 24, stage 3 disease with a Gleason of 7 (4+3) I realise that I am in a tiny minority.
Really I should be looking at heavy metastases and chemo instead of skipping round and buying my wife roses for Valentine's Day.
Edex and jig-a-jig next year, I have to get over the sticking needles in my penis bit!

    Sticking needles in one's penis
    Hi there,

    This is the sticking needles in your penis for Bimix, Caverject, Edex, Trimix, etc.
    Not for the faint of heart but if it works it works!

    Tri

    I used Trimix for several months, and began it not long after the DaVinci.  It worked very well from Day 1.  The feeling at first was quite 'wooden,' not natural at all, but it was good for the vascular tissues.

    I self-administered the shots, with no trouble at all, and almost no pain.  The nurse also trained my wife to do it, just in case such were to be necessary.

    As I said, the pain was minimal for me.  I believe that using it was significant in my later full recovery of potency.  Trimix is obviously many. many times more powerful than anything in pill form.

    In the US, only 'compounding' pharmacies sell Trimix, and the bottle must be kept refrigerated.
