Your doctor is full of crap and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

Don't let this sort of thing get you down. It's not just you -- almost all of us chronic cases have dealt with this kind of bullshit from doctors. It is, unfortunately, par for the course.

I believe VERY, VERY strongly that your lymph nodes are *not* unrelated to your EP. They are very much directly related.

The groin/pelvic area is a draining point for the upper body's lymph system. particularly if you spend a lot of time sitting, it is where a lot of lymph fluid/material comes to rest. A stressed lymph system has very direct relation to EP problems, if you ask me.

If you're not already taking them, load up on bromelain, cayenne, and turmeric. Keep up a steady multivitamin regimen. Avoid exposure to allergens, dust, other anything else that will cause sinus congestion that in turn can cause lymph congestion.

Avoid ejaculation and even, preferably, arousal as much as possible.

Get as much exercise as humanly possible, without over-stressing your body or directly injuring your reproductive structures. Exercise is key to loosening your lymph flow and restoring your body's proper balance of neurological, inflammatory, and other proteins which the lymph system transports.

And most importantly, stay in close touch here! Doctors are basically useless at your stage unless you're very sure you still have an active infection (unlikely if you have been treated with antibiotics for most of the past four months).
