to continue last weeks conflab I just found this out (poncy medical journal)and have summarised it for easy reading.. Maybe it'll help us march for the festival next year.. could be interesting!
Sildenafil (Viagra) inhibits an enzyme that promotes relaxation of muscle cells, including those in the lung, ie it helps you take big breaths!

Results The distance walked in six minutes increased from in all sildenafil groups by around 15%. Please note the side effects such as flushing, dyspepsia, and diarrheoa.
Conclusions Sildenafil improves exercise capacity, WHO functional class, and hemodynamics in patients with symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Unfortunately this trial was conducted on people with serious lung/heart disease and we are unlikely to benefit... but you read it anyway! xxx Doc.

Hi Doc

Heartburn and squits is not conducive to a good parade. I know. Ask the bloke who stood infront of me on Horseguards.

Sildenafil helps you walk
Zinfandel (the wine) severely inhibits the basic functions

A similarity... I certainly think so

I have done a beat retreat having had 'one over the top' and will never do it again... how I got to the end is a mystery as is what I did on the way to the end

sorry.....me again

I just thought i should also make you all aware (im sure Doc already knows this) that another side effect of viagra is visual disturbance. PhosphodiesteraseVI (which is present in the retina) has been known to be affected. Therefore Viagra is not recommended for people with retinal degenerative disease. As most Bandies of the male type are known to produce self-inflicted blindness, as a result of solitary bedtime activity, it means that the Royal Marines Band Service should NEVER be given Viagra. The result could be ever so catastrophic. The music would have to be printed in Braille and they would have to fondle each other just to determine who they are talking to. This could lead to the married quarters being stuffed full of same sex married couples. Also the mascot could be in great danger........he might be mistaken for a bugle and 'Last Post' on an Aardvark is nasty. :smt026
Be afraid. Very afraid

Oh!! So sorry..I was still on the spelling mistakes bit on another page..Big Breaths I read!!.. easy mistake to make when you read a lady doctor's report on Viagra...I am now suffering one side affect(flushing) without actually consuming the pertaining medication..But if ever I feel the need to ask for prescription, I will endeavour to read the complete statistics attatched,..and by that time it probably won't matter a damn anyway..Happy bed-tents..and Vision Express is on 0800......

They always promise you all of these side effects and you usually end up disapointed. Especially with Larium...............
I did once have an allergic reaction to a local anaesetic. It didn't seem to affect me, but everyone else went purple and started speaking Swaihili.

Looking forward to a good nosh up and maybe a bottle or 7 of wine at the Band social tonight.
If anyone hears me threatening to dance, you know the drill. :-)
