>hi everyone,
>Something sparked my memory, and I just wanted to share it. I've seen
many mentions of uti's in the messages here. I kept thinking...that's
interestion, but I never had that problem in relation to my TM.
THEN I remembered...over ten years, ago, shortly before the onset of my
leg/foot-pain/numbness...I was having some pain in the peritoneal area,
just behind the testicles. It went on for a long time, and eventually I
couldn't sit without a 'donut' pillow. I went to several urologists,
and had many prostate exams...(almost passed out from one of 'em, doctor
must've had an awfully fat finger...:)
Anyway...one of the docs finally put me on antibiotics, and it started
to get better! He said I had a urinary tract infection. Took a long
time, and had to go on a few rounds of the meds...and I NEVER connected
that episode to my TM...until NOW!
I still get discomfort in that region, but not as badly as it was.
I wish I had kept better medical records from that period...it all got
very confusing for a long time, what with the different diagnoses and
all.
Take care everyone,
Kevin
(still putting it all together :)
