Levofloxacin shows some use for newly diagnosed folks
I know most of the direction is pointing to lack of detectable infection, but this paper shows certain antibiotics may still be helpful in newly diagnosed patients. I have been doing a lot of thinking recently about Dr. Dimitrakov's and Dr. Nickel's points about potential triggers, including infecti...

Re: Intrarectal pelvic PT a "meaningful treatment"
I do think this is so important, though agree with Webslave and others that we have to be careful to claim this disease (or diseases) is simply just trigger points. There are those of us who have been examined by Tim Sawyer and others who have found some moderate trigger points, and some definite ti...

Re: Stephanie Prendergast of San Francisco
I would like to third this :) - Stephanie and Liz are VERY knowledgeable (this is all they do) and are ACTIVISTS as well. They single-handedly got Oprah's producers to look at PT as a viable treatment option for vulvodynia after she tried to tape a show not addressing the possibility of pelvic floor...

Does anyone on this board see Dr. Berger or part of the study I wonder?

Re: Could Viagra cure chronic pelvic pain?
I was wondering if anyone has heard of how this study went. In doing a little research, it looks like the Richard Berger study of Viagra at Washington University was suspended for administrative reasons. I know there is a presentation listed at the upcoming AUA conference looking at Cialis' impact o...

Re: Adrenocortical Hormone Abnormalities in Men with CP/CPPS
Dr. D - I think another thing to add may be a list of doctors who are familiar with this kind of evaluation. We certainly know of those who are willing to work with us (and there are only a few) - but it is hard to know how much they are familiar with the details of the disease. You seem so much mor...

HPA axis abstract on CPPS and Fibromyalgia
NOTE: I'm not sure about this journal's reputability and the subjects with CPP are WOMEN not men (and I don't really understand some of the details of the "methods" section here...but thought others might be able to explain :) HPA Axis Reactivity and Lymphocyte Glucocorticoid Sensitivity ...

Re: NIDDK Meeting on Defining the Urologic CPPS - June 08
This makes me very excited! My parents (both JHU biochemists) have already got their tickets and are going to act as "informed" family members of a patient. I may even fly back east for this myself. It's important that we're there to witness this coming together. This is also major for ins...

Re: Adrenocortical Hormone Abnormalities in Men with CP/CPPS
Dr. D - I would bet most of us have been walking around (trying not to sit too long :) ) doing a lot of thinking about this possible CAH connection. It's fascinating! Thank you so much for your tireless work! I'm definitely checking with some folks at Johns Hopkins to see if I can get tested for the...

Re: Adrenocortical Hormone Abnormalities in Men with CP/CPPS
Ok - this is terribly interesting!! My question is how does a steroid work to fend off an enzyme deficiency? Maybe that was answered in the past few posts but was beyond my level of understanding :confused: -- I'm going to print this topic out and send it to my mother who's a biochemist to explain I...
