For Erectile Dysfunction "My first injection at home: physician-provided dose of papaverine + 3 regitine with added 20 mcg of PGE1 mixture in an amount of 30 cc was very painful and lasted over 3 hours until relieved with a standard dose of Sudafed. The pain was intense at about 9 out of 10, with 10 being the highest. My penis felt like it was engorged beyond capacity or like it was being forcefully bent while fully erect, although in reality, the erection was only about 70% and declining. While the erection was declining, the pain held constant. A healthcare professional recommended reducing to a 10 or 15 cc dose. This had the same result in pain intensity but less stiffness and duration of erection. At about 35% stiffness, the pain stayed at 100% of its original."

For Erectile Dysfunction "At age 72, I had a TURP procedure that solved frequent urination but left me with a worse case of ED. Chemical therapy worked less than ideally. Now using alprostadil 100% of the time and well pleased. Erection became slightly curved, which took some adjustment to allow full entry for my wife, and there is slight pain, but far outweighs the benefit. One drawback is I must purchase 5 vials at a time and 3-4 injections per vial, and shelf life is too short, even when freezing an unopened vial."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Fabulous stuff. I'm 71 with no prostate and total surgical nerve destruction. Unaided erections are nearly impossible. But one MUSE injector capsule and my johnson is harder than stale bread for up to two hours. There is slight discomfort but nothing serious. I don't recall the firmness of my youthful erections, but MUSE is easily providing an erection on demand. Orgasm is severely delayed because of nerve destruction. But simply having erections again after 9 years without is a miracle."

For Erectile Dysfunction "What a disappointment Muse was. Without my hypertension meds, everything works fine. Maybe I will just quit taking them. I am not married, 63, and have tried with several women, all to no effect. They are not shy in expressing their disappointment, or they just disappear. Muse started to work but did not get there and leaves me sore, just like Viagra."

Alprostadil for Erectile Dysfunction "I tried the 20 mg Edex with awesome results. I felt like a teenager again with a raging hard-on. There was a little pain associated with the injection site, but it was manageable. Love the stuff, but don't love the cost."
