Re: Any Dr. Federico Guercini patients?



Coilman...you are not a very sympathetic person and I don't think you know
what the hell you are talking about. I usually don't write like this, or
get involved with spam, but you ticked me off. I try to offer encouragement
to others in the group and not play mister tough guy. I participated a lot
in the group back in 1997, but the group has changed a lot, like I said.
First of all I was trying to sympathize with the person I wrote to and offer
him some encouragement since he said he needed some hope, and I spent a lot
of time writing my post to him. You come off with this crap that you have
had prostatitis pain for 20 years, and you bear with it, and go to work...da
da da da. Let me tell you if you had the non stop pain I am talking about
(not every now and then), you would not be going to work and would probably
be considering suicide. I too have had prostatitis on and off for some
years (as well as other serious pain syndromes), but not as bad as this one.
I told you this recent episode was exacerbated by the TURP (which I agreed
to because I was having trouble peeing).

And as far as your statement that you refuse to be cut by a surgeon, that is
totally ludicrous. If you stop peeing for whatever reason, you either have
surgery and/or a catheter to correct it or you will die from infection,when
it backs up into your kidneys. You shouldn't make statements that you don't
really mean. The caveman didn't have a surgeon to go to so he just died.
This is 2005. I have been to over seventy five doctors in my life and I do
not like them, and I agree surgery is a very risky thing with no guarantees,
so I know where you're coming from, but try to be a little more sympathetic,
and understand that sometimes you either have surgery or die, or suffer from
such unbelievable pain that you wish you were dead. And sometimes,
unfortunately, the surgery makes you worse.

Please don't write back again blasting me. I do not play the silly back and
forth notes that some people like to do in the group (unless they are
constructive in nature). I hope your prostatitis, or maybe bph, or maybe
both, never get bad enough so you stop urinating, because then you will need
surgery and/or a catheter. Good luck.

Pete
