New Member with questions!! (Tascam's Case)

[tascam]

Tascam, many people report cures that are not durable when reviewed 6 or 12 month down the track. I would urge you to keep on doing what you are doing, then come back and update us on the durability of your improvement 6m to a year from now. Unfortunately, many people mistake a remission, or the natural wax and wane of the condition, for a cure.

I understand that. Fortunately, this board exists, and many members here know much more than any of the physicians I have dealt with. I am being very careful and hoping for the best. Once you feel good again, you don't want to lose it. 4 months of my life was hell with horrible constant burning that no medication or therapy would remove (although, I never tried PT). I am thankful to be rid of that pain; I hardly notice it anymore. Every once in a while, I might feel some minor symptoms, but it's 95% better. I think the passage of time, decrease in sexual activities, Libax, valium, and hot baths helped.

Cheers Tascam,

I wish you well...Please get back to us in 6 months for an update. When flair ups happen, just know it will pass as long as you stay calm and remind yourself that this condition does go in and out...

Best, Carl...

Still doing well with no flare ups at all. Occasionally I might have a minor symptom, but it goes away very fast. I credit the passage of time with correcting my problem to 90 to 95%.
