Hi, I am Bill, not John, but I followed John's advice and after months of pain and swelling, I am 99% pain free. I still am a bit more tired than I used to be and I still have minor swelling occasionally. But it does not limit my activities on a day to day basis.

I still have some weird things that I wish were different but it really doesn't matter. (During the pain time, my testicles drawed up really tight. This makes the pain worse as they do not move like they should. Also my penis shrank up. It has returned somewhat but not like it was. My testicles are still sucked up and I wish they would hang again.)

But over all I have the basic quality of life I had. I used Fenugreek, Bromelain, acidolphilus, and some echinacia. I really improved when I quit the saw palmetto I was taking. My story and advice is on here under the title of The secret life of the epididymitis man or something like that.

I feel if you took antibiotics very long, the acidolphilus is a must to get your stomach back in order also. I feel there is more going on than just one problem.

Hope this helps. Feelfree to email me for more info.
