How are things brad? -
Yes, Dewie the Microdox products that are not available in the US are very similar to the Microcyn products that ARE available in the US. See this post and search for the phrase "I contacted" and you'll see the answer.
But i personally don't know if very many have tried the Microdox...Last edited by crispy1981; Yesterday, 12:22 PM.Leave a comment:

And yes, i think GJNL compared the micordox ingredients to some of the similar products availabe in the US (MicrocynAH for example) and the ingredients were essentially the same?
sorry, tried to delete this...it's a duplicate....Leave a comment:

For what it's worth the microdox instructions might be misleading but they DO suggest 'Treatment' and not just prevention. I have had success treating one pathogen but it could have been conicidence, perhaps my immune system did the job. My most recent pathogen (Pseudomonas) did not clear up but like...Leave a comment:

Martiniani77, looks like you are in pretty good shape with all the Anti Biotic choices. And the Furamag (never heard of it) had a succesful trial! I wonder why more don't use Furamag?

dewie, yes an ID doc isnt going to be much good at urology. You need an ID doc for antib biotic recommendations especially regarding resistance issues. You might have to shop around...there are good and not so good docs out there or sometimes you just need to find someone you 'click' with.

dewie, you definitely need to work with an Infectious Disease doc. Hopefully you've got one? Would it be simple for you to post your recent culture? Did you try following the microdox instructions to clear the infection?...Leave a comment:

NIce Ride! I'm guessing this chair isn't covered by insurance? What kind of stricker do you have?...motorized, hybrid or manual?Leave a comment:

dewie do you know what pathogen you are currently infected with? Sorry to ask but do you know if you are you infected or colonzied? I also wonder if there are any studies that summarize the infection rates of the various Urological solutions (SP, IC, Condom, indwelling etc). Have you tried helping...Leave a comment:

A nurse would be the best to interpret but from my experience i would say you are on the best choice for your culture results (Levaquin). You have 2 pathogens (Pseudomonas and Enterococcus) and both are susceptible to Leviquin. I don't really understand the MIC part of a culture...i think the lower...Last edited by crispy1981; 05-19-2020, 08:01 PM.Leave a comment:

Thanks KLD! I did not get a lot of hits for this on CareCure, just one negative review. Would be nice to know if anyone has positive input. Do you know of anyone that this has worked for or should i just post the question in a new thread?...Leave a comment:

KLD, do you know of many men that have tried this type of external contom succesfully? I am definitely interested! Seems like it would be MORE prone to coming off however?
I also wonder about the science behind their claim that it would reduce UTi's? In my mind it looks like it still creates...Leave a comment:

Brad, since an ID doc will likely require an initial visit perhaps you can call a pharmacy? I haven't tried this yet personally but i know my doctor did that when i got a culture that was resistant to a bunch of Anti Biotics. And i'm pretty sure they won't charge you to call and ask them if they can...Leave a comment:

Brad, i would get yourself an Infectious Disease doc or even try calling a pharmacist and mention your tendon concerns and ask if they can suggest alternatives. It was simple for me to get an ID doc...just ask your PCP for a referral. And we have a good online system here (unityPoint.com). I just send...Last edited by crispy1981; 05-16-2020, 02:52 AM.Leave a comment:

I resent and copied you Jim. thanks!Leave a comment:

Just wanted to get more details to better understand treatment options. I can log onto my medical care system and cut/paste test results so it's handy/easy to do. One thing to ponder is 7 days of AB therapy might not be long enough? Also, knowing the name of the pathogen helps to narrow/target treatment...Leave a comment:

I tried something like the Mountain Trike already...the Grit Freedom Chair.
I did not like it. Mainly what i did not like was the lack of 'course correction'. It a barbaric system of having to pull back with one handle which rubs on the knobby tires...that's the brakes!...Leave a comment:

JIm, any thoughts on when we'll get a response from our questions during the open house? It's been 2 weeks now since submitting questions to the supplied email address.
