    Carlos,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The Celebrex is working well to decrease my discomfort. Of course, all
    the stress that this condition has caused has probably made my symptoms
    worse. I'm trying to deal with it one day at a time and I'm thankful
    that my symptoms don't seem to be severe when compared to most of the
    discussions and experiences I've read about on the internet.

    I will certainly talk with my doctor about having a test of semen or
    prostatic fluid. My urine was sent for culturing twice and came back
    negative both times. I'm guessing the uro felt that since no infection
    was found, antibiotics were unnecessary. I'm going to ask him to
    consider doing more thorough tests--if he won't, I'll simply see
    another doctor instead.

    I do still have a question or two regarding the condition:

    1. Are there some men who have irritated prostates which heal after a
    time?

    2. You said that success stories tend to disappear. Can I take this to
    mean that if a man is healed from his symptoms he tends not to bother
    talking about it anymore? Thus, on websites, etc, you tend to hear the
    worst cases but not ones that gradually get better and go away?

    It can be disheartening to read stories of many men getting life
    sentences with this when there are no stories of "Yes, I suffered from
    that, but I was able to be healed with the proper help and practices."
    Thanks,

    Brian B.
