I noticed this article on Yahoo this morning and found it very interesting. If I have some time, I will try and find the actual study.

Re: Cholesterol Drugs and Prostate Cancer
I have been on statin drugs for over 12 years for genetic high cholesterol (runs in my family) as a preventative treatment since I was 28 years old. I have always felt that these drugs are amazing if you are not part of the few that get the muscle issues from statins...rare but it could happen. The more statins are studied, the more researchers find their benefits. Would like to read the study...
Good article...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.
