Title: englarged prostate/uti problems afraid to take my medication
Post by: kroz on October 25, 2014, 05:10:44 pm
I drink pretty regularly and about a year and a half ago whenever I would try to quit drinking I wouldn't be able to go to sleep because when I would lay down every ten minutes if felt like I needed to take a piss. I would go to the bathroom and piss, or just dribble out a couple drops... I'd feel better go lay down and then ten minutes again I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. my gf was over one night and said she had a uti and it felt like she needed to pee. I was like "woah that's exactly what I feel like" we went and got AZO urinary tract pill and it worked.

So whenever I had this problem I would just pop a couple. anyways fast forward to about a month and half ago I'm still having these but they are now more frequent and the AZO pills are not helping. I went to a dr a month ago and he put me on three weeks worth of Bactrim an antibiotic. Didn't work, so I went to a Urologist 5 days ago, they said they think I have an enlarged prostate and it's enlarged maybe because of a bacterial infection and its pressing against my tubing causing this sensation. They prescribed me this stuff called ciprofloxacin.

Since then I've had weird side effects like losing my balance, crazy nightmares, waking up drenched in sweat not knowing what the hell is going on, and seeing lines of light overlapping everything, and blurred vision. I looked up online about this medication and apparently there is a black box warning and have read several horror stories about the side effects being permanent and life damaging. am I freaking out over nothing? I threw away all my pills...

and also is there any suggestions as to how I can over come this prostitis without toxic anti-anthrax drugs?

like 10 years ago I started not being able to piss, I would have to stand there for a minute or so, or even longer, before I could actually urinate.  They told me I had an enlarged prostate, and I never did anything about it.  It still happens once in a great while.  I don't care if I rot from the inside out, I am not getting a fucking catheter for any reason.  I will die wild and free, of sepsis, on a filthy vomit-covered motel room mattress.

You need to get to see your urologist.  Explain what happened, and that you tossed the pills.  There are probably other treatment options worth exploring.  It may be a trial and error process of figuring out which medications you can tolerate, but this is definitely something you want treated....

I'm sure you've placed plenty of catheters in your time.  It's not a big deal, and doesn't even hurt that much once you're used to it.  Or so they all tell me.

never...I have worked with mentally and physically handicapped people before, but only as a foreman in a subsidized factory that they worked at.  They would put together small plastic parts and shrinkwrap foam cones used for flowers and art bullshit.  I was like, managing a bunch of retards and spastics.  It was a good job and they were great people but it didn't pay much.  Looks good on a resume though.

You shouldn't call people retards or spastics.  It's offensive... very few words bother me, but "retard" honestly does.  People with developmental or acquired mental disabilities put up with enough shit in their lives, they don't need everyone casually throwing around derogatory words like that.

But I thought you said you did work like I do?  Or something, guess I don't remember right.  Placing catheters isn't much fun, but it needs doing.

My own 'clients' (as they were called) gave me a nickname:  'king of the retards'.  I was professional enough not to say that word or other 'sensitive' words that would get me fired or hurt someones feelings, but they threw it around all the time, that, and worse.  Some of them even got high and shit.  They are people just like you and me, and some of them aren't afraid of mere words, some of them have twisted senses of humor, and some of them are just plain mean and antisocial.

I spent years working with disabled people like that.  Some of them were fine with it, but some really took issue with the word.  Once in a hospital setting a nurse mentioned one guy's "retardation", totally meaning it in the medical sense, and he became visibly upset.  Was so sad.  I'm more okay with people throwing around the word "nigger" than I am "retarded"; and the title of the retarded thread always bothered me.

*shrug*

It was funniest when there was a big group of people talking and one of them would call another a 'retard' for some reason, and they would all pause, look at each other and then bust out laughing.

I've got an enlarged prostate and I'm not even 30 yet. It's sort of disheartening to have these geriatric health issues while being so young but things could be worse. OP take benzos for nocturia and you'll be able to sleep through the night.

Cipro shouldn't be on the market. Stay very far away from this medication. Seriously. I can't be more serious. Google "floxed". Ask for another medication. The side effects you're already experiencing may already be permanent.

I was always curious about this. I had a gf who got so mad when I said "retard" because I guess her dad was slow or some such, I mean what's the correct word? Isn't it medically retardation?

My boss is 80+ years old and she is always saying retard, she's not even trying to be mean but I can't help but laugh when she points out a "bus full of retards". She's also racist as fuck but I think it's unfair that someone her age should have to conceal it.

Intellectually disabled works, but that's kind of insulting too honestly.  I always found it best to refer to them more specifically, by either calling it by the actual disability in specific instances, or by saying either developmental or acquired (whichever it was) disability.  Stuff like down syndrome is a developmental disability, while brain damage resulting form a car accident is acquired.

So 'Hey!  Downs syndrome!  Get over here and clean this shit up!!!'  is more appropriate than 'Hey!  Retard!  Get over here and clean this shit up!'?
