Yeah, I am the same way. My skin turns hot, my cheeks turn red, and I feel feverish and cold yet my temperature never registers what would be considered a fever. Lately they have been coming and going quicker, sometimes for 30 minutes to and hour and then I'll notice I am back to normal. They seem to be farther apart too which I am taking as a good thing. It's all really strange.

Also in an update to my original post, apparantly I never had epididymitis according to my new urologist Dr. Alexander. He thinks it's all the same problem, and that the Prostatitis or whatever it is was manifesting itself as inflammation and pain in the epididymis. That would certainly explain why all my urinalysis results for epydidymitis in the past were negative for bacteria also. Anybody ever have or know anyone that had a spermatic cord nerve block? Really the pain from my testicle/epididymis radiates down my leg and into my abdomen and is the worse symptom I have when it is flared up. It makes the "golf ball" feeling and the other stuff seem like nothing.
