Hey guys. I was diagnosed with chronic epid 15 years ago. I am now 34 and wondering if there have been any advances made that would make it worth going to a doctor again. Back when I was diagnosed, I went thru several courses of anitbiotics without result and was basically told to live with it or try surgery. I definetly did not want surgery so have lived with it since. I always have discomfort present and have flare ups every few months with no real pattern. However, I am now in the midst of possibly the worst flare up I have ever had. So, it has me wondering if a doctor is worth trying again. Over the years I have just sucked it up and made sure I had plenty of Ibuprofen. I see a lot of you taking various herbs, vitamins, etc... What is MOST used or recommended and where do I get them? Thanks for any help you can provide.
