I called the doc, he called the insurance and convinced them to fill it as written. It does help with urination. Unfortunately, it also helps with blood flow, even when I don't want it to.
Just a shout out to wish you the best. I elected a different approach for the treatment of my P cancer but began the journey with a bilateral orchiectomy and really have no regrets. All the hoopla regarding the BLUE pill is lost on me and we really don't care, but I do hope for the best for all men who pursue that avenue for the resolution of their problem.

BTW, biking is soooo much more enjoyable now.

Enjoy your ride. No riding today for me! 76 miles yesterday. Just completed 4+ miles walking, left knee gave out 3 times even with brace on, still hoping for some swimming a bit later.

I've been taking little blue pills for years, they're called Aleve. Don't need the other ones.

At least no one has mentioned cadence and time riding. Just saying.

Jeeze This is the first post I opened on the forum and thought "What the heck? they use large print for the over 50 crowd"

To be fair I just turned 50 in July. So really, I'm BARELY 50.

I would like to try the blue pill just to see what it does. It's been so long since I participated in that type of exercise, I am not sure if I would need it, or not. I am pretty sure I have regressed back my virginally state.

4 hrs does NOT sound like fun. Did a marathon when I was a teen. We had to shut the AC off because the breeze was painful. I have no intention of doing that again.

Yea sorry about that I must have blowen the font up without knowing it , but it does make for some easy reading ,, I think the 4 hour thing is just a disclaimer , never heard of that actually happening, for 50 I would say that's kinda young unless theres something else going on, that's just my personal experience , ,everybodys different, if you went thru the thread you saw the price you have to pay for the real thing , someone said you can get a cheaper version ? don't know,,,,, I'm past 65,,,, might need alittle boost right about now , although I can't really complain I've been pretty active thru my life,,,,,

Not suggesting that you should or shouldn't do it, but......you could edit the font size in the original post........that post's font has been really big for a lot longer than four hours...........

Just don't do what this moron did: Man has erection for 5 days after taking 35 Viagra: report - NY Daily News

That was about $1400 worth, according to this: Viagra Prices and Viagra Coupons - GoodRx

I'm not quite sure what this thread has to do with cycling. We're getting a little TMI here so it's time to close this one.
