UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

Ok no problem cheers

Hi Guys, I had chronic prostatitis/CPPS some years back which is still there but urinary symptoms are mild. But since I had it my rectum became overly tight which in consequence caused an anal fissure during bowel movements. It has got to the point now where my rectum/sphincter muscle is constantly ...

Thanks Mike I appreciate your reply, I will do all the things you list there, been taking the duloxitine for a week now and its helping with the neural pain and the anxiety. Keep you posted and thanks again.

I agree webslave you're probably right, I think while I was on the Valerian it masked most of the symptoms so I didn't really need to think about it but now that I am off it I've realised the symptoms are definitely still there so I will have to start motivating myself to getting better. I have got ...

Hi Guys, I had treatment for genuine bacterial prostatitis approximately 5 years ago which left me with pelvic pain symptoms. I have been taking high doses of valerian extract since that time on a daily basis which has helped a lot. I recently realised I was getting really sleepy and anxious in the ...

Thanks webslave, do you think antihistamines might help with my CPPS? I noticed on an earlier post you said you take them. I know high levels of histamine could cause excess acid thus burping. What antihistamine do you take? I was thinking of trying L-methionine as its meant to lower histamine ...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if anyone has problems with burping a lot as a symptom. I can't work out whether my excessive burping is separate to my CPPS. I have most other symptoms of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome such as pain after eating certain foods, intolerance of ...

I think its helped me, definately with back pain, give it a go can't do any harm.

Unfortunately I think he will carry on practising, seems like most people are testing negative but for Dr Song to totally refute the claims that 'three' patients are HCV positive and not even offer help is beneath contempt, it's disgusting. The least he could do is offer them treatment as some can't ...

Cooper did you or any of the other positives have acupuncture while you were in china. Apparently this is a possible source as they re-use the needles. Just a thought that a friend of mine who saw Dr Song so has brought up.

Are you still using that email?

Very worrying news cooper, I'm sorry to hear this. I'm going to get myself tested ASAP. I had a full blood test and LFT's 6 weeks ago and they were all normal so I think I'm OK, fingers crossed. I was over there in October, a few months before you and haven't really had any HEP C type symptoms ...

Does anybody know why with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome we have constipation. I used to be regular as clockwork but now I have to take senokot virtually everyday, its very frustrating. The inflammation must have a secondary effect on the bowels. Anybody know any good solutions ...

Have you tried herbal remedies, I use valerian, I usually take 4 (400mg tabs) before I go to bed, they''re really good for helping me drop off and they have no side effects. They are also good for nerve pain.

Thanks neis, its funny I've done exactly the same, I had 2 weeks of doxycycline and 1 month of nitrofurantoin in my cupboard which I've began taking because the chance of culturing an organism in very slim so I'm going to give it the double hit just in case. Hopefully I might see some difference ...

Thanks for the replies, there's no high blood pressure in the family and I have monitored my BP at home and it was normal this morning but then high again an hour ago, it seems to average at about 145/95. If it was only the blood pressure I wouldn't even know I had it, its the heavy heartbeat and ...
