| Dear fellow prostatitis sufferers,
I would like to share how I got cured of this awful
disease. Hopefully you will be as lucky as I was. I
realize there are apparently many causes and varieties of
prostatitis, so I'll briefly describe my case. |
|
I'm 44 years old, in otherwise moderately good
health. |
|
My symptoms began almost two years ago, when I
developed pain in my lower abdomen and testicles and was
diagnosed (by expressed secretion, which was found to have
white blood cells in it) as having bacterial prostatitis.
After trying several antibiotics over several months, the
symptoms continued to return. Then they put me on an
antibiotic called Trovan
for 3 months. The symptoms disappeared, and did not
return. That was about December 1998. |
|
Then, in July 1999,
the same symptoms started up again. It turned out Trovan
had been banned because it was dangerous. So they started
with the same litany of antibiotics, each for 4-6 weeks
before moving on to the next: Cipro, Doxycycline, Levaquin,
Bactrim, Bactrim plus tetracycline, and Geocillin. This
went on for about 7 months. Finally my urologist
said we'd run out of options in the antibiotic realm: he
said the next step might be microwave therapy on the
prostate. He said my prostate does not show other signs of
being sick: it's still the right size, and texture, he
says, for a healthy gland. |
|
At this point I got on the web and discovered the
Prostatitis Foundation (God Bless them!). On the website,
I read about a medicine called Prosta-Q, which is an
over-the-counter mixture of Quercetin and some other
extracts to make the Quercetin be assimilated well. I
ordered a bottle (it's not cheap: 50 dollars for a
one-month supply of 60 pills) and started taking it twice a
day. (I discontinued the antibiotics.) Lo and behold,
within one week my symptoms began slowly to diminish. That
was four months ago. The symptoms have waxed and waned
during that time, but the overall trajectory has been
steadily down to zero. I have now been completely
pain-free for more than a month! |
|
I realize this stuff may not work for everybody:
the wonderful doctor, Dr. Shoskes, who developed the
medicine, himself states quite clearly that prostatitis is
a multifaceted disease, for which many different approaches
have to be used in different cases. In my case, the
Prosta-Q worked like a charm. If you're interested, the website to visit is
www.prostaq.com. I sure do hope it works for
you too! |

Best,
Michael
