From a November, 2000 newsgroup posting
For almost a year now I have suffered a great deal. Mainly genital, but
some very scary neurological symptoms as well. I have been to a dozen
different doctors and I have been told that I have had everything from
"its all in your head" to Reiter's Syndrome and Behcet's Syndrome. Well,
it has taken me a long time to figure this out but I finally think that
I know what is really wrong. |
| Most, and I am not saying all, urologists
prescribe unwarranted antibiotics even if no infectious agent is found.
Yes, I know there are several different theories on the empirical use of
these meds and that some people actually get results from this type of
treatment. In my case I believe that the quinlones, most often
prescribed by urologists, actually did more harm to me than they did
good. |
| A year ago I was a healthy 31 year old male with only an ache here
or there, probably just like everyone else. Today I am a 32 year old
male with a burning penis, terrible back and sciatica pain, oral
problems, joint, tendon, and occasional tingling on the left side of my
face and in my legs.. Is it possible that all of these things were
caused by prostatitis? I don't think so. I have been tested almost
monthly for any type of STD, including herpes, and have been with the
same women since my symptoms began. |
| Just my opinion but I would never
take another quinlone unless I was on my death bed, and believe me for
the past year I have often thought I was! Take a little time to check
out this site on quinlones. Maybe before the next time you hand them out
like candy, you will have a second thought about how you could be
destroying someones life. |
| For those of you that are taking them, good
luck to you and make sure you are informed about the possible side
effects of your medications. None of my doctors recognized any of my
symptoms as side effects and I think that is why I am in such bad shape
now. |
|
Good luck to you all. |
