Amoxicillin detox

Thanks Mickle

There is actually no one in this country doing direct injections into the prostate. Is done to a very limited extent in the US,, Italy, Greece, Turkey - but it doesn't seem very convincing from what I've seen. I am going off the idea of the prostatectomy

Re the Ciprofloxacin I took for thirty three days !!!!! Our teaching hospital's special urology nurse told me that Cipro is their first line treatment for Prostatitis & yet none of 'her' doctors mentioned it until I was given a far too weak a dose for a month by a young lady Registrar.

My GP doubled that dose but only gave me a weeks supply (as they usually do). I had very bad symptoms after a week on that weak dose but when I had taken a fortnight's worth of full strength Cipro my symptoms declined but I was adamant to eradicate as far as possible the infection I most certainly had. I had been neglected for years re my waterworks and no one listened. My prostate seemed as right as rain until very late in my on and off symptoms. It was 2010 when I produced lots of urinary stones which was never resolved but a urologist who did my MRI said the stones then could have been caused by an infection. The intricacies of the waterworks system and reproductive system is complex as you will know. It is very disconcerting when 'you' know you have an infection but doctors on the whole do not believe it unless there is absolute proof of the organism.

I feel strongly that not enough is done to isolate whatever bacteria is the cause of any infection because the science is there to use.

We however cannot make them do what they should do. The urologist who's speciality is stones when he knew he had made mistakes retorted =you can't prove you've had an infection! I have of course got it in black and white that I have had 'an infection' since childhood. I really deserve an apology from him and lots of others who quite frankly were definitekly not 'up to it'!

You will probably be aware that some writers on this forum have dire warnings about Cipro and maybe other fuoroquinalones but what I ask is one to do suffer & then possibly let the infection do irreparable damage?

So CIPRO was quite effective in your case? It's a tricky one - personally the risks of being "floxed" terrify me

I agree the fact that that semen/prostatic fluid tests are not a matter of routine is a disgrace

How can they say that the vast majority of cases are chronic non bacterial when they aren't doing the testing?

It's absurd

I am awaiting the result of a semen sample DNA sequencing test - whatever that might amount to; sent sample to Texas

UK medicine seems to be well behind the curve

BTW - newish EU/UK regulations

"Restrictions on the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics will mean that they should not be used:

to treat infections that might get better without treatment or are not severe (such as throat infections);

to treat non-bacterial infections, e.g. non-bacterial (chronic) prostatitis;"

If you are within a reasonable distance from Birmingham UK I would think from looking at the research they are the leaders in Prostate. Are you in the USA where I would have thought a patient can get anything ? I suppose it all rests on getting a top quality doctor any where..... That is someone who knows every mortal thing about all of the profession. It seems as if here in the UK the quality of the medical profession in some areas has declined but then again it still was paramount to get an individual who knew all there is to know about his/her subject......

Doesn't every individual know that if a person has the initiative that person can read most of what doctors themselves are reading?

A very cleaver doctor recently on TV talking about a very complex health problem, advised the interviewer that in some instances the patient because of their research can 'know' more than the doctor who is treating them....... It would be a mistake to 'believe' all that is on the internet but after 2000 I have gained much knowledge in numerous subjects not least my gall bladder which if an uneducated registrar had her way my gall bladder would be out.

No one should ever have to buy additional antibiotics to lengthen a course

ever. In my case it was crucial. No one will ever admit that because of the chance to sue...... In fact I asked a cleaver male registrar blood specialist.... why has he said there is no evidence of substancial TB? He replied he could have worded it better but he doesn't want suing! This is what us so called amateurs have to contend with!

Incidentally , I was told that a sample had to be at the lab within a few minutes but then on the other hand another operative contradicted that.....

both were not lab technicians however.

I see the Chinese but I don't know who else take a single or very few samples of fluid from the prostate when looking for infection. As said you know that they and others do not administer antibiotics directly into the prostate material........ How come that is not done widespread if that is beneficial?

A friend of ours down the road recently had gall stones flushed out of his gall bladder because he has a bad heart...... Well under cover was that procedure! Kept in the dark is the phrase that instantly comes to mind!

Sorry I made a mistake--- they do inject antibiotic directly into the prostate as that is well documented. Some doctors it is known will not accept any advice that contradicts their ideas. That is probably why the head in the sand syndrome is well established here due to doctors not accepting a mistake they have made....... Under the carpet if at all possible!

"Under the carpet if at all possible!"

Certainly agree with you there - I live in Birmingham, if there is great expertise here it's certainly passed me by Mickle

I can't write anymore right now - I'm just too ill unfortunately - thanks for your messages; they are appreciated
