UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

I've been more or less pain free for 6 months or so. Pretty sure it's just time. I didn't go to any of those appts I talked about in Feb.

Pelvis health place has an opening 10 weeks out from now. Brutal. Also talking to a PT that does dry needling just to get an assessment. He doesn't do pelvic dry needling, however. That will be in like 2 weeks.

In the mean time I am just stretching my adductors by holding a static stretch for 20-30 ...

Well, it's been about 5 months since I started working with the chiropractor. Things are the worst they have been in like a year and a half. Sucks. I can mostly be normal during waking hours but it's hard to fall asleep and I wake up multiple times a night and have a hard time falling back asleep ...

Update: Things are still the same. Some of the chiro treatment would flare things up a bit but nothing major. I do have new news, however. I got an x-ray down and it found the following:

1. Moderate to Advanced Disc narrowing on L5/S1. Not a surprise since this was injured in a car accident like 6 ...

Updates: Everything symptom wise is the same. That basically means if I don't think about it I don't have much in the way of issues except slightly higher than normal frequency. My primary agreed to put me on hydroxyzine which hasn't changed anything CPPS wise but it at least has made me sleep ...

Alright, I've been super tired (actually need to see a doctor about this on it's own) and in a mental fog the last few days but as I am coming out of it my plan is to do the following:

1. Talk to my new primary. I doubt she will have any solutions but I am going to ask for Hydroxyzine. Ideally a ...

Hi Redub, my symptoms seem to be similar to yours. The worst is the stinging in my urethra after I urinate that lasts for 30-40 minutes and leaves it tender. Did following the diet help with this ?


Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what helped. I do notice if I drink a lot of diet soda it gets a ...

I am pretty close to being back to normal now. Actually I've been that way for weeks. I didn't do anything special really.

Why hello there.

As an update I had another huge flare up... thanks to psychedelic mushrooms. I use them as part of mental health therapy and I knew they caused flare ups back when this all started but since things have been calm for a very long time and I am able to enjoy other foods that can ...

Sorry, I never used an audio or video assist for paradoxical relaxation. With how I do it I don't even see how it would work because some parts of it might take a few seconds and some parts might take a minute or so... and I also 'reset' a lot. Basically how I do it is:


Lay down with a facemask ...

Last update was 4 months ago.

Basically life is normal now. If I think about the issue I can feel a tingling in the pelvic region at the base of my wiener that kind of feels like a slight urge to pee but it is incredibly easy to ignore. Basically if I don't think about it it isn't there and even ...

You can also do headspace though its shorter time frames.

Also don't beat yourself up if you can't do like the 4-6 hours it recommends. Even when it felt like my life was in ruins I only made it about 2 hours. These days I just do 15 minutes of paradoxical relaxation and that is just for the mental ...

Aight, it's been a month. Everything has been manageable but urgency still mostly falls into the 'mildly annoying' stage. I suspect it would feel worse or harder to cope with but it's been about a year at this point so it's whatever. I have been eating nothing but rice, beans eggs, avocados, water ...

I know a woman who can't drink caffeine or she will pee her pants a little when she laughs or sneezes. She doesn't have any other problems. I also just realized it's weird she told me that since I barely know her.

I flared up last week and still recovering. Initially I assumed it was food related since I am travelling and couldn't exit my elimination diet properly but I recently noticed the problem is worse when sitting or laying on my back on a soft bed. I switch to laying on my side it alleviates things ...
