Do I have Prostatitis?

Okay I have been highly stressing over this for the past week. I have come a long way from my initial question as to whats wrong with me. To some up I am a body builder. I use all types of supplements, for the past 3 months I was on Testosterone boosters, not to be confused with anabolic steriods. They naturally raise Testosterone levels, then in the past month and a half I got on pro hormone which is basically a naturally occuring compound that converts to a small amount of an anabolic steriod. The entire month and a half I had no symptoms at all. For the end of the cycle I used a "designer anabolic" called dymethazine for about 2 weeks I had no negative side effects only great strenght\size gains. About last Wednesday I noticed that at the end of urinating I had a slight burn only for a second. Then last thursday I began to urinate very frequently and was up almost all night uriniating and it didn't feel like my bladder was empty. I immediately got off all the supplements and went to get a Prostate Health formula from the vitamin store containing saw palmetto, pygmeium, pumpkin seed extract, etc. So in order to prevent estrogen rebound men take natural testosterone boosters to restart there natural testosterone product called Post cycle therapy. So the only supplements I use are a natural testosterone booster and this prostate health formula. The next day I noticed a slight burn while urinating just one time. My urine was a much darker color. So I took an over the counter UTI test and tested negative. As the past week went on my symptoms started to subside I noticed a little lower back pressure nothing painful. I did a lot of research looking up Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatitis and am wondering what I have. the past week with the exception of last night I slept pretty sound and my urination is strong flowing again. Last night worried me a bit I urinated a lot but I felt relieved every time, a lot of urine came out so its not like it was only dribbling. This morning after sex I noticed my semen was thicker and slightly clumpy. The worst symptoms are gone but I have no insurance can anyone shed some insight please.
Okay Anon, I am aware there are several types of Prostatitis does mine sound like the acute bacterial prostatitis or because mine was flared up from hormonal changes what options do I have?
Well I don't have insurance or a Job thanks to downsizeing so I'm currently unemployed and very low on money. I know there is a walk in clinic around but I don't know if they can test me for all the signs being they are a walk in clinic I don't know what resources they have. The earliest I can go is monday of next week can anyone suggest anything for the frequent urination until I try to see a doctor

is it safe to take several vitamin/mineral supplements everyday?

I went to the store and went on a vitamin/mineral supplement pill buying spree and want to make sure its ok to take alot of pills everyday or not. Here is a list of what I have in pills/capsules:
beta carotene, magnesium, milk thistle, zinc, garlic, SAMe, b100, saw palmetto, eye formula with lutein, blueberry antioxidant, and o-calcium. I know that's alot, which is why \'m asking. Or would it be better on my health to not take them?
