NormanH Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 An example is the compression stockings which my cardiologist insists I wear after 3 DVTs, and prescribes under 100% for that ALD, but which are only reimbursed at 35% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Doctor Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I stand correctled by idun and NH who to be fair are far more knowledgable regarding the workings of the French health service. On a purely medical note however, I'm intrigued as to why the urologist has prescribed the smaller daily dose rather than ad hoc use. If the OP has indeed got an ED problem as a result of his prostate surgery (its not clear if this indeed the case or whether Cialis has been suggested as a preventive measure), if reimbursement isn't forthcoming from CPAM then ad hoc use would almost certainly be cheaper overall. Cialis is relatively spontaneous used this way, usually being active within 20 minutes. Just worth thinking about if cost proves an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Obviously you are the authority on anything clinical DD . It's just that we have had frequent struggles and setbacks over the years that we know a bit about how the admin side works.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evianers Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 As you know, we had grave misgivings not only regarding taking the tablets but the exorbitant cost thereof.Well...... they didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sorry to hear that. One of the worst aspects of the various forms of cancer is not only the threat to life but the affects on the quality of life that treatments can have. I remember how cooperlola was upset at having to wear a wig after chemotherapy and some people have radiation burns, or problems with such things as continence.Still we are here ..http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/oct/07/life-after-cancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprogster Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 As far as I am aware, cialis and viagra can be prescribed for other medical reasons unrelated to ED, such as assisting circulation and urinary flow with prostate cancer patients. In fact viagra's ability to help with ED was an unexpected side effect and not what the drug was originally developed for.I may be wrong, but I think some may have jumped to the wrong conclusion as to why Evianers has been prescribed this medication!

John Brown Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 A friend of mine had prostate cancer surgery which resulted in ED. He went on to have 10 weeks of electrical stimulation therapy, which he said was really uncomfortable but it did the trick and is back to normal. At the end of the day its the skill of the surgeon in avoiding nerves in that area that determines the outcome but the therapy did work in this caseJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
