Your story sounds familiar. I went through it. (Remember me? I just pop in here once in a while for old time's sake.)

Glad you're off the Cipro. I was on Levaquin and it put me in a wheelchair. Took a year of PT to walk normally again. Dx of bacterial infection was pure BS. Urologists are useless, or whatever three steps down from useless might be.

I won't rehash everything I learned about prostatitis and fluoroquinolones. But LJ gave you some good highlights in that article. On the prostatitis: There is growing belief that many cases of "chronic prostatitis" are CPPS, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, caused by spasms in the pelvic floor muscles. Google it, there's good info. Also, quercetin has shown some good results. On the Cipro: Fluoroquinolones can cause permanent neuropathy. Not a good choice for you. Watch your tendons, especially your Achilles which is poorly vascularized and especially vulnerable. I suggest you read the Cipro insert and take all the supplements it tells you not to take. This is a strategy used by many people who have been "floxed"--suffered a terrible adverse event from a fluoroquinolone--because these substances bind with the abx molecules and take them out of the body. In fact, that's why you're not supposed to take them during your course, they render the Cipro inert.

Good luck!
