DZappa here in the Northeast. Age 61 and started experiencing mild ED about 2 years ago. Seemed to have developed a slow leak in my tire if you know what I mean. Then got interested in regaining a more youthful functioning through DIY shockwave therapy about 9 months ago and currently own a SW-8.  Interested in compairing notes on treatment protocol and results.

Jay here from cold Canada . Been experiencing ED in various degrees of intensity,  over the last 6 years or so. I’m 52 now. I suffer from high blood pressure, which I believe may be the contributing factor. I do take HP medications for this condition, which according to doctors, should not contribute to my problem. Next step was ED meds. Viagra worked fantastic in the beginning, 1/2 a pill of 25mg would get me rock hard...I miss those days. Now 100 mg barely works for me. I sometimes take 150mg. Other than that, I’m fairly fit and take no other medications, and I don’t smoke. 

Things I’ve noticed:
- I don’t get night or morning erections...haven’t in many years, except after taking ed meds.
- Although I eat fairly healthy, I feel that certain foods (and mood)  interfere with the erection quality  when taking ed meds
- not sure of my recent testosterone levels, last time I checked they were in the low end of the normal range, which was a 3-4 years back. They lost my more recent test results

Thanks to Dick,  and his wonderful blog, he inspired me to buy a machine, with the hope of better erections to follow.

So I bought a SW10, same as most users on his blog/board, and currently following a 3 week on protocol of 8 sessions, with a 3 week rest period.  I’ve just completed my 2nd 3 week protocol, which is 16 sessions, so I’m resting until Mid-Feb. I use 15mm head, doing 7000 SW session@130mj. First cycle was 3000 on top, 1000 each side and 1000 per crura. 2nd cycle I switched it up, 2000 each side, 1000 on top, 1000 each crura. Not sure if I’m overdoing it. I also do bathmate penis pumps 5 times a week, usuall after a session if time permits.

So far, I have no positive results to share, well (last Saturday only)  that 100mg viagra seems to be working a little better. Dick’s been helpful providing me hope that results will come after 3 months. I will persevere.  Hoping to get my morning erections back and/or scale back or eliminate the need for ED pills. I just hate timing when to take it, and God forbid I eat Super Bowl food, stuff will never kick in.

Thank you all for reading my post and all the info. you’ve contributed to Dick’s blog and forum....I’m a regular reader, so keep it coming. And thanks again Dick for your contributions to the cause.

dicklimppen i wanted to ask you a question. I'm retired mid 60's and going to a urologist next week to discuss trimix. he offered me a prescription several months ago but i wanted to try shockwave first. i see where you are using trimix and wondering if insurance pays any on it.
