Caffeine, Cipro, Levaqui
Friday, February 8th, 2008
I am a practicing internist in used York City and Long Island, used York. I am 34 yrs old, and have had chronic prostatitis for 2 years. Only recently did I start eliminating ALL CAFFEINE from my diet, including all coffee
products, sodas (diet and regular), as well as tea.The results have been quite remarkable- my symptoms have been greatly
reduced, and my sense of debilitation from this troubling disease diminished considerably. After multiple courses of antibiotics, I was ready to try acupuncture and any other sort of alternative medicine. I can proclaim as a patient that taking Cipro or Levaquin for a 6 week period is extremely difficult, and I was oftentimes experiencing bad side effects after 2 weeks which could make me discontinue treatment. As a physician and a chronic prostatitis sufferer, I encourage all to discontinue caffeine products for a short time to observe clinical effect. I am no longer aware of my symptoms for a large portion of the day. According
to my reading, other men are affected by alcohol, red wine, and spices– this however has not been the case for me. The main aggravating agent is most certainly caffeine. I am hoping that I will keep on to stay in remission while avoiding caffeine. I hope other men can find out this information useful.
