The best thing I've done recently is cut out gluten / wheat completely out of my diet<br />
My symptoms have improved dramatically. I want to get the word out because I think there are more people that could benefit from this info.

<p>I have had chronic prostatitis for approx. 9 years, and have had very mixed results with the antibiotics you mentioned. </p>
<p>I was initially put on Ciproflaxin when the illness was in its acute stage, and I guess it alleviated the really nasty, nascent, symptoms to a certain degree, but did nothing to stop the condition becoming established. Both Cipro & levaquin are broad-spectrum quinolone antibiotics, and I believe fulfil a very similar role when being used to treat bacterial…</p>

Both Cipro & levaquin are broad-spectrum quinolone antibiotics, and I believe fulfil a very similar role when being used to treat bacterial prostatitis. I really don't know whether you'd have any immediate relief from switching to Cipro, but it may be worth a try, as it did take the edge off my symptoms when my condition was in the acute stage. </p>
<p>I too started having a reaction to Levaquin and developed, after a month's high-dose usage, nausea, visual disturbances and terrible tendonitis. The latter got so bad that a tendon in my shoulder actually ruptured! So be careful about using any quinolone, as the side-effects can be extremely nasty. </p>
<p>Sorry if I come across as a bit pessimistic, but this illness can be a difficult thing to deal with ( as I'm sure you're well aware ), and there never seems to be a definitive answer that suits a common model for those who suffer. I know it may be a bit obvious but maybe bed rest, pain relief and Ibuprofen, for the next few days could the way forward, particularly if you're running a fever. </p> I also have chronic bacterial…tag:prostatitis.ning.com,2015-03-17:2201951:Comment:470522015-03-17T13:46:33.262Zjeffoshttp://prostatitis.ning.com/profile/jef
I also have chronic bacterial prostatitis and after years of suffering....classic oral antibiotics have never really helped. I sincerely believe that today bactrim, levaquin, cipro are out of the game...most of the bacteria are resistant to them.<br />
My uro is treating me with monurol and when it becomes very bad: IV antibiotics of several types. However there is no cure for me so far, this will have to be repated and modified again and again everytimes the disease wakes up.
