Buster,
You are very correct on this. It does seem to be different for everone who suffers from epididymitis. The worst part for me has definitely been the emotional aspect. My wife blames herself for giving me an infection, with no proof that she did. I can't be nearly as active as I'd like to be. I've really only felt good for 3 months of the last year. It is very mentally draining on both of us. Hang in there everyone!
