CPPS/non bacterial prostatitis need help
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2015 6:33 pm
Hi my name is Mark I live in the UK, I'm 40 and just feel like I needed to contact someone who has had this problem, I've just left my doctors with ofloxisin, I doubt they will work had no where else to go, let me tell you my story it will be long so I do apologise.
I'm 40 now but I first had symptoms 12 years ago, tip of penis tingling, ache in groin, penis filling full, bottom back ache, peeing more often, split stream and after seeing 2 urologists they both said I had non bacterial prostatitis, one said I had to live with it when I got a second opinion he agreed but gave me a tablet which I can't remember if it was a antibiotic and also try a Prostabrit supplement which to my astonishment it worked that was about 12 years ago. Now since 2011 the symptoms have returned with an added one which is a odd sensation down both legs stopping at the knee I don't have all the symptoms at the same time so back to the doctors for tests, all negative, then to a urologist (different one this time) who was utterly horrible> They again said non bacterial prostatitis. Over the years had that many drugs, can't remember any of them working, then in 2014 I was rushed into hospital with septicaemia and nearly died. They never found out what caused it. I was let out April last year after being in intensive care for 2 weeks, and then I could not believe that my symptoms were gone — I was symptom free for 3 months. Then in July 2014 I've had these terrible feelings/sensations down both legs, mainly in upper legs, but I could manage that with gym and hot baths and trying to eat the right stuff. I don't know what happened 10 days ago, these symptoms came rushing in like a tornado where now the discomfort is not in legs but in penis and me wanting to pee but not much comes out, stinging in tip, split stream, weak stream, and aching back and pelvis ache. I do get sometimes a sharp sudden like bolt of pain in penis which lasts a second also. I'm trying to eat healthy by just having spinach, kale, cucumber, broccoli, chicken, salmon, corn flakes with semi skimmed milk I'm trying to cut out gluten as much as possible, I started this a week ago hope it works, also still on tamsulosin and started on saw palmetto, Prostabrit, quercetin, no change in symptoms as yet.
Has anyone tried amitriptyline? I was on that in hospital for anxiety when I was battling septicaemia. Don't know if that kept the symptoms at bay. I was symptom free for 3 months.
Also last week I started to take saw palmetto, quercetin and bromelain, zinc, magnesium and just ordered Prostabrit and pygeum. I don't know whether to take them all together with these antibiotic ofloxisin
Please if anyone is out there I would love to beat this once and for all . I'm waiting to go back to urologist.
Sorry this is such a long post !!!!
Please help
