Great, now I'm going crazy

Post by Silas1066 »

I almost put a weed sprayer through my kitchen window after yelling at the top of my lungs today ... life's minor inconveniences are becoming catastrophes now that I am suffering from this chronic thing called CPPS/PBO whatever the hell it is!

After getting a $1200 bill from the urologist and getting no relief, I'm pretty much losing my mind. Sex life is history, and exercise seems to make it worse now.
Age: 38 | Onset Age: 32 | Symptoms: Frequency, the feeling of having to urinate right after voiding, pain in the penis—especially on the tip, dripping, urine retention, mild burning. | Helped By: Hot baths, exercise. | Worsened By: stress, caffeine, possibly diet.

Just tell the uro you will not pay this bill and will let it go to collections because you are now broke and this is what you can pay....You can meet in the middle somewhere...Speak to the uro and not his billing department...only the uro....Tell him this is all I can do otherwise it will have to go to collections...He's going to want his money, even if it's not the amount they billed!!!...I'm sure he will work something out with you. Payment plan...something.

Peace, Carl...

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.

Carl, I like that idea. Just watch out for your credit report silas. Maybe you can get on payment plan or something. I'm sorry man that sucks. But everything in life is negotiable. He can get half or zero, just make you sure you offer more than the collections people will give him... .
Good to go!
