Anxiety: Orthomolecular Diagnosis and Treatment, by Dr. Jonathan Prousky (intro by Abram Hoffer) is the best book I've read on treating anxiety naturally.... probably the best book out there.....

I can relate to what you're saying... when I was a teenager I was covered with psoriasis and, while my friends were out in the sun or getting laid, I was covered up, in pain and miserable.. the doctor at the clinic I was attending noticed how sad I was and sent me to a shrink... I told the shrink ...

For me, the pain I feel has been less about the frequency of ejaculation and more about my ability to thoroughly relax my pelvic muscles before and during ejaculation....

I've also told my family and friends and my friends and colleagues at work... the news is usually well recieved, whether out of curiosity or empathy... My wife is another story; I've learned that she doesn't need to know my every pain or discomfort but does need to know what I'm doing to help myself ...

Thank-you very much for the responses and, as always, good advice... I tend to agree that, given all the tests I've had ruling out anything sinister, inflammation or not, my best route to recovery (what ever that looks like... I forget) is to continue stretching, relaxing and tp release.... As a ...

I recently had an intake exam at a hospital Urology Clinic, where they seem to have progressed in their understanding of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome to the point that they are utilizing a number of alternative treatments including parts of the SP.....

I managed to get a referral to the Murray Koffler Urologic Wellness Centre at Mount Sinai Hospital and had my first visit, which included a physical exam (blood, urine, pros. fluid) and a thorough history; they're also going to review all of the tests my uro has done over the past few years.

Not a hunter or fisherman... but I find it more difficult to urinate when it's cold...

Don't know if anyone will be interested in contributing to this or not.. however... a few months ago my son and I started taking guitar lessons together and I've noticed that when I practice guitar, my symptoms seem to dissipate considerably, sometimes completely, unfortunately only to return ...

The stretches from HITP, including the V-stretch against the wall and a number of other leg and back stretches...

I have the same thing... the weak ejaculation is accompanied for me by a lessening of sensation... it really sucks...I actually find I often need to ejaculate twice (one time right after the other) with the second ejaculation feeling more normal.... I'm sure it's internal-trigger-point related and ...

You're getting excellent advice... find someone who understands your anxiety and is empathic to your struggles with CPPS... don't try to hide your struggles or worries.... if it's the right person for you, she will understand and you will have a partner in your efforts and determination to become ...

Thanks Scoobysnacks and Scott.... ejaculation is the worst trigger for me and almost always causes a flare.... what I've never tried is to regularly ejaculate (usually I just stop because of the flaring of burning pain) ... so I'm going to try something different... perhaps not everyday but every ...
