Thanks Bobby

Tried the Acidophuls again last night and was okay, maybe just the initial reaction.
I tried cranberry juice but it gave me terrible stomach aches, so I have opted for cranberry extract 500mg tab per day with water to try and control the re occurence of uti, it seems to suit me better.

So at the moment I am taking the above plus garlic tab one a day which I beleive may help and Echinacea tinicture.

I will have a look at your recommendations to get some more vitamins into my daily routine.

I feel like a pill head at the moment but if it works so what

I am coping at work and trying to keep focused with positive thoughts only when I can

Your support is very much appreciated as it is difficult to discuss with anyone who does not understand.

Many many thanks
and best regards

Hi All

Well 30 days on meds now, I am concerned that I still basically feel the same. My left testicle is painful most of the time and what concerns me more is the tip of my penis just does not seem right, to the left it has a small darkish red area and looks and feels very sore, but under the skin if you know what I mean. The tip is painful all the time there is no rest.

Should I go and see my Doctor before my next urologist appointment at the end of March.

I do not think the meds are working, am I expecting too much too soon?

Well, I think you expect too much for so short therapy period Sad

Anyway, your urologist should know about your current condition. Maybe some meds are not responsive for your metabolism. I think you should make a phone call and consult with your urologist.

Of course, you should control your diet and the therapy should be very exact and you should obey everything that your doc prescribed. If you do it that way, and you still feel uncomfortable, just talk to your doc.

However, the prostatitis therapy is not only one month therapy. It's the future life style. Everything will be different and you must accept it to get cured.

Take care!

I am sorry to keep asking questions, but when I have some more answers I always feel somewhat better.
