Thanks for all the replies and clarification. I think my uro here is both being cautious and in it for the money as well.
As I said he reluctantly increased the script to one with 20 mcg PGE-1 per ml. Although I bet if I call him and ask for a stronger formula,he will do it, "as long as I come in for an appointment, ie. 190 bucks)
I started at .5 cc (50 units) as that would have been my next step up from a full 1 cc of my older weaker 10 mcg/ml formula. (The pharmacy gives me 10 little 1 ml vials, though I I have found I cannot get a full 1 ml of liquid out of any of them, more like .9)
So, first thing I noticed as others have mentioned here, results seem to vary for each injection and not necessarily only due to dose difference. I have been getting decent results with 10 mcg of PGE-1 (.5 of the 20 mcg/ml). maybe an erection of 7-8 and lasts for about 30 min. Now, that's not terrible, but in comparison to all the posts on here that state there are people nearly twice my age who have had their prostates removed are getting 2 hour "rock hard erections" with multiple orgasms, it makes me think I should be getting more out of the injections. Perhaps my expectations need to be tamped down.
And my latest experience is even more perplexing. My last injection led to my best results, though the dosage remained at 10 mcg PGE-1. I got the familiar "ache" which I have actually found to be reassuring since I know it means at lest an erection will occur. I got maybe an 8.5 hard erection and it lasted an hour, even through climax. I chalked it up to possibly getting a little more PGE-1 in that particular vial or something like that, Anyway, the next day, 70%
of my penis had turned black and blue. Yes, a huge bruise. Not just at the injection site, although more prominent on that side. My uro had warned about hitting a vein and that I could get a bruise. No real pain other than the very faint ache the day after an injection which I normally get. The size of the bruise is alarming, but I will wait and see if it starts to fade as that seems to be the protocol.
The weird thing is, this was my best results. Not that I would want to hit a vein on purpose, but did this contribute to my better than average results?? Is it like "mainlining" a drug or something? Not that I have experience with that, but my limited knowledge of IV drug use indicates that people go from snorting, to smoking, to injection right into their veins, because it works better. Is this something similar?
