Treating ED without medication

cpu_dad — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:35:50 GMT

I was embarrassed about my lacking in the bedroom. I knew I needed to do something about it, but I didn't want to go to the doctors, and take medication. I found this website, and all I can say is WOW. In as little as a week I performed better in the bedroom with out medication, and i treated it my self in the privacy of my own home. Do yourself a favor and at least look at the site and see what it has to offer.

A New Approach to Erectile Dysfunction

fache123 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:06:25 GMT

Hello,

I have tried several products that have ended in failure to treat my ED. The timing of the viagra pills, the herbal meds, penis pumps.. all were very inconvenient and barely worked when I needed it to. I'd like to share my story and I hope it helps others find a treatment as well.

Just about when I was willing to try anything, my close friend told me about the OQ ring (which his wife bought for him!). I immediately went on their website and started reading... and like a slave to these products, I bought one.

I hate to admit it, but it actually works. My penis used to have this odor to it along with ED and this ring has taken away everything. The last woman I was with insisted that I put it on almost everytime. I haven't paid for a prescription refill for almost a year now... and I don't plan on buying anything else until this thing breaks!

**Has anyone else tried the OQ Ring or any other product that works? Please share!

Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection. When muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open outflow channels, erection is reversed.

Men always feel embarrassed if they are unable to perform well on bed. They even face social stigma as a consequence. Such people, it’s seen, lose their confidence level. The feel of not being able to give total satisfaction to the partner kills them from inside.

Yes! My sex life is back!!! I have received the order and I am extremely pleased with the service and the pills. I had previously been paying a very high price through prescriptions from my local GP. I am now able to order online without hassle and delivery has been within the stated period. I was a bit wary of ordering from an online pharmacy, especially overseas....but I came to be extremely happy with the service and the product. I will absolutely place any and all future orders through this site: mediconline.org

Support Group??

jaychevy88 — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:14:01 GMT

My girlfriend suggested I join a support group because I want to meet other people who are going through or have been through what I am going through. My friends don't really understand very well why I'm so tired some days and I just want to kick back in bed or on the couch but other days I am up for whatever. I want to meet someone who gets what I'm going through.

Where can I find a support group?

jaychevy88 — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 06:38:25 GMT

Any suggestions?

After-effects of I-131 Iodine Radiation Treatment

tazzjazz — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:33:56 GMT

I was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had surgery to remove the entire thyroid, and then had the I-131 Iodine ratiation treatment. This was at the end of August, and I'm still having problems with my sense of taste. I have a salty, metallic taste in my mouth, and can't really taste most foods. I can taste mint, but other than that, most everything else is just blah.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how long does it last? I'm hoping it's not permanent!

Right after the treatment (within 2-3 days), my tongue felt like it had been scalded, and then my mouth got really sore. My dr gave me a 3-day prescription of furosimide (I think that's what it was), and it helped somewhat, got rid of the soreness, but the taste issue is still there.

I appreciate any info, because I really can't find anything about this in any of the information articles.

Thanks!

wardrobe change

ewatson — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:26:23 GMT

Last December I had a bilateral mastectomy. In February, because I needed to move, I purged my wardrobe of all my winter clothes. I saved my summer wardrobe, however, I now realize that even if I have reconstructive surgery I will never be a DD (nor would I choose to be). How do I decide which blouses/tops to purge. Is it as easy as saying "everything"?

I know my question may seem shallow at first glance, but in actuality it represents a great deal more. Facing the change in my body is dramatic. First I focused on the surgery and recovery, and then chemo. I now have a moment to look at myself (before radiation begins). The clothes represent the past, and something that will never be again. Which is okay. I'm unsure why I saved the summer shirts/blouses. But I know having a closet full of clothes that I cannot wear has become an obstacle. If anyone can offer some advise I would greatly appreaciate it.

Thanks

I have a concern about my stoma. When changing my barrier ring my stoma weeps blood for a few dabs of a sterile pad. Is this caused by cutting the hole in the barrier ring too small?

Starting Doxil - any tips???

lynngamen — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 20:56:36 GMT

Hi-

This will be the third form of treatment in 2.2 years. I start Doxil Wed. June 30th. Just wondering if anyone else has tried and can you recommend ways to manage side effects. I've read quite a bit about hand/foot/abdominal rashes - sometimes causing so many difficulties it is impossible to walk. Please advise.

Thanks.

Mammosite

bconstuble — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:56:50 GMT

Has anyone had this type of radiation treatment? It is only five days of radiation, not six to eight weeks. They don't radiate fthe whole breast but just where the lumpectomy was removed. Very intense radiation. There are qualifications to be able to recieve this. You must be over 50 years, have no lymph node involvement and have a small cancer. I am going to have this done in two weeks. Normally they insert a balloon into your breast and fill it with saline and just aim the radiation at the balloon. But my surgeon was unable to find the place to put the balloon so couldn't do it. He had just cut a chunk out of my breast. You would think the hole would still be there but it wasn't. I must heal fast and it closed up. So they will still do the five days of radiation and aim it to the place of the surgery. Check it out on line. Interesting. Called mammosite radiation. It has been FDA approved since 2002 so not something too new.

Test for Mesothelioma

Anidafay — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:10:56 GMT

The new test for mesothelioma is called MESOMARK and it helps patients by monitoring them under treatment and checking the level of their biomarkers in their fluids. It is considered the mark of a new era in mesothelioma treatment.

Those who wish to have a MESOMARKER analysis accept to give minimum two samples of blood. Only afterwards this test, the mesothelioma doctor will provide medication and a specific analysis and treatment for the asbestos patient.

Asbestos and Mesothelioma

Anidafay — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:37:51 GMT

Asbestos was long considered a very useful material finding wide range applications in the industrial scenario before it was discovered that exposure to asbestos caused a deadly disease called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a fatal disease that has no known cure; and since the symptoms surface decades after the exposure, the person is taken by surprise and it leaves very little time and very few options to fight the disease.

Unfortunately, mesothelioma doctors are very hard to find. This site has a comprehensive list with doctors and treatment centers specialized in mesothelioma cancer. But a doctor needs to treat the mind & spirit besides healing the body. We hope that any mesothelioma victim finds the right doctor.
