I’m based in London, England.

So were you diagnosed with true VL in the end then? And what will your treatment be if so?

I’m seeing a couple of important problems or issues with the Ultrasound test:

1) Whether or not the patient should self-stimulate.
2) If there is no satisfactory response to caverject shot within a certain timeframe, the patient should be given more time to react.

ie: Patient Y is given the injection - 15 mins later he undergoes the test. He is nervous and stressed and does not react to the shot. He is not given the antidote and leaves only to have an erection lasting hours at home. By sending the patient away too soon, you have missed the reaction and thus given a false diagnosis.

How’s the transition been?

How long? Has it served you well?

And, are you happier now??

Difiant,
Have you had a test called either a Rigiscan or NPT (Nocturnal Penile Tumescence) it's a machine that registers nocturnal erections men usually have in their sleep. It can help to know if a person's ED is physical or not. You may want to ask your doctor about it. Keep the communication open with your doctor, tell him/her about the at home hours latter erections after the doctor's office injection.

No I’ve not had that test before but as I understand it they give you sildenafil or tadalafil before sleep and monitor your erections overnight to determine nocturnal activity. Right?

Yes, I will be as up front and honest with the doctor as I can be.

Seeing him on the 8th Jan!

I had the test with no medication. They want to know if
you are having normal nocturnal erections on your own and to measure
the rigity .
