I finally had an appointment with the urologist this morning regarding my illness. I told him my whole story. One rubber-gloved finger later, he confirmed that I do in fact have prostatitis. I’m supposed to take Cipro for 30 days and avoid caffeine and alcohol for the next month.
I’m also supposed to ejaculate at least three or four times a week.
I’m not kidding, he really told me this. Apparently it helps.
Getting better is going to be so much fun.
Wow! Some “doctor’s orders”!!
Hopefully you have someone to help you get better!
:)
Sounds like the right kind of sickness to have…
Lends a whole new dimension to the concept of “live-in care provider,” doesn’t it? Get well soon…
lol, i was going to say sorry…
but then again…
:)
have fun!
Yippee. I have chronic prostatitus too. Except I’m only 24 and it was so unlikely that they had to do exploratory surgery to do diagnosis. Except that I peed blue, not orange. Weird. I feel a strange connection to you now… :)
At any rate, I feel your pain. I still can’t stand cranberry juice (without vodka anyway) because I had to drink so damn much of it.
Just hang in there. It’ll get better. Just watch out for side effects of the condition. :(
Did the doctor write you a script for the “ejaculate 3-4 times a week” thing? And can Walgreen’s fill that prescription? :-)
If so, I need to get to the drug store more often…
