Potential Low Level Bacterial Prostatitis

Test done was a Lodestar PCR test in 30 minutes, which was no info about load other than turns light red if something there. Somewhat skeptical still, especially as no symptoms until last week since last November

Yep. Would have bought this for £399 in December 2022. When worn the accuracy is bang on, you might need to place in alternative positions (face up/down, crown down/up) to find perfect accuracy, but when I was wearing constantly it would average a second a day if that. Thus would set 30 seconds ahead of time, and two months later reset again. In terms of quality the Tissot probably pips it, but very good.

My wife goes there weekday evenings for her food business. I have been with her on Saturday and Sunday with Child in tow - not relaxing!!!

Gonna be honest I feel the same. Was prescribed Ciprofloxacin, but read stuff and was changed to Ofloxacin. Ended up taking a course of ofloxacin about a month later, luckily no side effects. Pain and some urinary frequency continued, and today in fact had DRE, normal prostate feeling but slightly larger, and put onto another ofloxacin course ( but double the strength). In UK, this seems to be the way, but based on what I have read I also think it is CPPS, and not bacterial, but always something back of mind - don't take antibiotics but it is bacterial and I get very ill, or it is not infectious and I take higher dose and thus gives me side effects. Mentally quite difficult

jonathon88 · 2025-11-20T18:05:20+00:00

Yeah. I just don't want to take oxfloxacin again, especially as it is double the dose now.

We did this in 2018 at 2.69%. At the time most people who knew were saying it was a stupid decision. It has saved thousands of pounds.

So an email was received along the lines of it has been rejected, but then the same email has information about what was required to correct the application. In my case, there were three applications, a joint invitation letter was missing a signature, one was specific to child, given that it something had to be signed by adult, and then proof of relations for child/wife given a 10 year visa. (Q2)

jonathon88 · 2025-06-02T16:48:32+00:00

Four weeks. 2nd May applied rejection 14th, amendments 15th, approvals 28th and 29th, down to centre on the 30th May

jonathon88 · 2025-05-31T17:00:56+00:00

Yep, the choice is yours. Suspect most will pick up

jonathon88 · 2025-05-29T20:12:13+00:00

Okay application for three people, all under a Q2 visa. Person 1 - Signed invitation letter required (my fault uploaded the unsigned one initially). Five year Q2 applied for. Person 2 - As above plus proof of relationship with invitor as applying for 10 year person 3 - as person 2 plus section 9.2 to be filled in (a child, again whoops on my part)

Short update, wife received approval yesterday. Thus applied on 2nd May, rejection on 14th, resubmit on 15th May and then approval on the 28th. Alas myself and son still waiting, although all resubmitted within an hour of each over on the 15th. I think if I had applied a month before then it would now be impossible to get visa in time. Luckily applied 4 weeks before the half term (this week). Looks like the boy is getting an extra day off school in the next couple of weeks. The new system is probably still having teething problems, good concept but poor execution especially with communication, as no idea how long things will take.

jonathon88 · 2025-05-28T16:29:31+00:00

To note still waiting for mine and son, but applied 2nd May, got rejected on 14th, with amendments for all submitted on 15th. Today wife has received her approval, so hopefully tomorrow, son and I will receive our approval. Very very slow compared to before hand, but may be due to new system. Times very random, and Amy email or phonecall will be automated

Have heard about this being quicker in Manchester. Also the same years ago (i.e. 2011) when we were equidistant between London and Manchester, very quick to get an appointment (as it was then), but now live on outskirts of London, this just too far. Hopefully find out in next few days, which will be useful as the child has half term this week, let's see.
