Hey Guys,

I'm wondering what my next option is going to be, and I'm determined
that it's going to be antibiotics.

I ran into this quote from Dr. Feliciano,  in regard to my "urethritis"
symptoms:

Norfloxacin (Lexinor) is an antibiotic effective against N. gonorrheae
in a
single dose of 800 mg. and 200-400 mg. twise a day for 5-7 days as
recommended by the manufacturer for non-specific infection. However,
the
cure rate of single antibiotics given with or without prostatic massage
is
at most 38% only.

My symptoms are a very mild "urethritis" but nevertheless madenning,
that have never come up positve. An overall soreness extending from my
prostate into my penis, with most symptoms coming directly from the
penis area. It's a mild burning, itching feeling with an occasional
extreme stinging sensation that might happen once a week or every other
week. Bang, there it is, a reminder that no you're not imagining
something. There's something there.

I would take Levaquin with full relief while I was taking it - 2 weeks
of 500 mg, and then right at the end,  seeminly as my own immune system
was knocked out of commission by the antibiotics, I would get a
reminder. "We're still here, buddy." I would stop treatment and then
would feel major symptoms coming back, with stinging and pain all along
the urinary tract. As my immune system recovered, the symptoms would go
away again, back to the regular slight reminder symptoms. "No, you're
not all right. It's not in your imagination. We're still here, chump."
It feels like I have a continuing slight infection. All tests of course
come out negative. But from what I've read they can't culture a  large
percentage of the bacteria out there.

So, I'm desparately wondering, perhaps naively, what my next drug of
choice will be. I tried upping the dosage with Levaquin. I took it for
two weeks, successfully with no symptoms with a higher concentration -
500 mg every 18 hours for two weeks. And bang, right as I ran out of
prescription the symptoms came flowing back, and I knew I was cooked.
This had only creating an ever stronger bacteria if that's what's
ailing me.
