Would You Like One Cialis Or None

How much courage do you have? If I told you a pill was available for consumption that might give you icky and painful symptoms would you swallow it daily? Wait! Taking one each night might be overly optimistic for most of us over age 55 so let's say three times weekly. Read down the list of side effects of this magical piece of medical ingenuity and answer honestly: "Is it worth the time, effort and suffering"? Most normal men will give a response of, "Your damned right it is"! If you haven't guessed by now what I've placed before your eyes are reactions one might expect from the ED pill called Cialis. So, let me comment on these according to how I'd respond:

changes in vision or sudden vision loss; (no big deal)
ringing in your ears, or sudden hearing loss; (no big deal)
chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling; (what it's like after a night of heavy drinking-go to bed and sleep)
irregular heartbeat; (no big deal)
shortness of breath, swelling in your hands or feet; ( buy new shoes and gloves-no big deal)
seizure (convulsions); (don't know-I'll chance it)
feeling light-headed, fainting; (go to bed-no big deal)
penis erection that lasts 4 hours or longer. (I'd take an ad out in the newspaper above the fold and brag to anyone who wanted to listen. I would a hero to every man in town and every women would want my phone number and email address)

Less serious side effects may include:
redness or warmth in your face, neck, or chest; (no big deal)
cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, or sore throat; (get some Kleenex)
headache; ( take 2 aspirin and go to bed-no big deal
memory problems; (so, what else is new)
diarrhea, upset stomach; or
muscle pain, back pain. (take Pepto Bismol-sit on the toilet-no big deal)

True story. Two months ago I visited my general practitioner for the annual 100% body physical. I like my doc because he laughs at my stories. Anyway, after my going over he asked if I'd like him to write a prescription for Cialis. I thought, "Oh, what the hell. I'll take it and put it in my glove compartment in case it's ever needed". A month later while getting some meds from the local CVS I handed the pharmacist my Man Scrip. I wasn't embarrassed because he and his pharmacist wife are from India and that's where the Karma Sutra was introduced so he has to know all the tricks of the trade. It was then that he asked if I wanted the full prescription written out by my doc buddy. Since I hadn't looked at it I causally asked how many were on it and that's when he said, "300". Shock followed by guffaws and then 'on the floor me rolling in laughter' took over. "Three hundred", I said. "I'd have to have the fertile harem of six dead Al Qaeda to need that many". I suggested we cut the number down to a measly ten and asked for the price. "That'll be three hundred dollars", Gandhi told me. "THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS"! "Do you realize I could play four damned nice golf courses for that kind of money"? First, I would have had to sell my boat and five of my grandchildren to meet the going price. My neighbor said for me to buy 300 Cialis would be like erecting a flagpole with strobe lights in front of a condemned house in Detroit. And that's when I left CVS as fully satisfied as I've ever been satisfied before.
