Penile implants, pills, shots, pumps - nothing seems to really work right

Joe, Thanks for the help. I guess I am just so fed up with doctors
for one thing or another, that the thought of looking for another is
overwhelming. Unfortunately, it is 4 AM and that is because of not
sleeping due to thinking about the problem and looking at personal ads
and pro sex-worker ads. I keep looking, but won't approach anyone. I
already go to a shrink for depression and don't get any help on this
problem although he knows it is a problem for me. He says, "tell those
people [urologists]to do something about your libido!"

I do know low testosterone has brought down my libido too. My current
urologist thought that I got the wrong mix of trimix from my former
doc, who probably wanted to help, but was more surgeon than ED
specialist (if there is such a thing). The last batch was such a
conglomeration of vials and syringes and God knows what. Plus it hurt
to inject and did not do anything. You do bring up a point tho. I could
go back to him and see if he can come up with a better mix and finer
needle and not 50 vials of drugs and a bottle of saline solution or
whatever I was given. I had not given it any thought.

I believe that I will check him out on that, tell him this is making my
depression worse, and see what he offers, other than another PSA test
to make sure the cancer is behaving itself. If it looks bad, I will go
find a good doctor and get an implant. The doctor that is on the AMS
ads and is in NYC must be good.

Somebody on here or in another thread mentioned that they do a lot of
implants in VA hospitals. I wonder why? This doctor I have now also
practices at the VA hospital and does the implants there.

Possibly no drug is going to work, because the blood may be flowing out
as fast as it goes in. This was noticable with the Cialis and that is
when I added the pump to use after the Cialis worked and before I lay
down. (I started standing for some reason).

Finally, I may just go to Latin America and find a honey who needs an
old man to take care of her. Maybe living down there in the heat with a
sexy girl will make more sense. Some can be cruel if you can't get it
up, as I found when I became a drunk (no more booze for 25 years now),
but with an old man they may expect it and still provide comfort and
compassion.

Now it is 4:21 AM and I have to go to a orthopedic surgeon for another
problem altogether at 10 AM. I probably will look like a drunk :-)

Bye now, SLUG
