Thank you for asking.

No, feeling worse than ever, but I just started taking Nitrofurantoin last night for my infection and it's side effects are making me nauseous, weak and short of breath. I need to take it seven days so six more days of this then it's over I hope.

I got off Finasteride a few weeks ago but it stays in you for 6 to 8 months. So I will have brain fog and depression until sometime in January. My prostrate is doing better without it using supplements.

They also gave me Dutasteride which I took for just 4 days. It gave me arthritis (which I've never had) and the arthritis will still be with me until sometime in January I hope.

This is teaching me to be more patient. So something good I also hope

Thank you Casey.

I should have said that the nausea only lasts about 4 or 5 hours after taking the pill.

Watched a Dr. Berg video and he said diuretics' make work shrinking a prostrate and Nitrofurantoin is a diuretic. Oh well.

Praying you get well soon Dennis and I second Casey in thanks for all you do and especially under trials. It’s so difficult. May Our Lord be with you always. 💕

Thank you.

I use test strips and yesterday mornings test showed about a 50% improvement. This mornings test showed no change from yesterday which is 48 hours total since starting the treatment and that concerns me.

I am so sick of being sick. Please pray this is over in five more days when the prescription runs out.

[Dennis Vogel]

It got a little better for the last two days but now it's getting worse. Prayers please.

Yesterday morning both my kidneys started hurting. I called the doctors and they are doing a culture on a sample to determine a better antibiotic. Could take up to three days. But my right kidney is still hurts.

Google says: Nitrofurantoin Mono can build up to dangerous levels if your kidneys are already weak. When kidney function is low, the drug fails to concentrate in the urine to treat infections effectively and increases the risk of side effects.

So if I continue taking the drug I toast my kidneys. If I don't I'm back on supplements which have not worked well until I get a new antibiotic in a few more days.

I’m praying for you Dennis. We love you.
In Christ, Pamela 💕

Thank you Pamela. Most of the kidney pain has gone away.
