yea I thought I was doing better and had been staying off the board in an effort to just keep it off my mind and hope it would go away completely,you hit it right on the head, this board is great, but when you read and think too much about it it can have negative effects i think,but its good to keep in touch with the "brotherhood", but of course after the last doc groped around the pain started to come back, so if i got pain from that imagine the pain id get from those invasive tests...

can you tell me more about elmiron, and also where would i get it if he doesnt prescribe it? at this point I dont even feel like going to see him

what is Dr. Seamans theory and treatment plan for ep? also, I have spoken to a chinese herbal doctor on the east side a few months ago and he claims hes seen this many times and cured it each time, and that chinese herbs can easily cure it in general and he characterized it as a low level infection in a very sensitive area, I think im gonna give it a shot, I know theres a huge chinese herbal school/treatment center on route 22 in Scotch Plains i believe, i had seen a website from them before where they said they treat ep/pros. , Ill try to find the site when I get home later, I remember a few guys in the beginning when I first joined this site 6 months ago saying this cured them... I was trying to let this all go away but im gonna have to get pro active again to get better I think...
if you get a chance rocco, feel free to email/IM me at , and once again thanks for lookin my stuff up, i appreciate it, take care
