waiting is dangerous?

Post by jj77 »

This june I will enroll in the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol: I've suffered of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome for 1 year and I think I cannot expect anymore now.

Can I expect a strong degree of recovery? I always fear I've waited too much and some permanent damage has been done.

you haven't waited too long. Dr. Wise suffered for over 20 years before he started curing himself via the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol.
Age: 39 | Onset Age: 32 | Symptoms: urethral burning, increased urge to urinate, pain after sex, rectal fullness, now much better 6 years into Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol | Helped By: PT(trigger point therapy), paradoxical relaxation, valium, hot bath, stretching, Theracane | Worsened By:too vigorous sex, skipping stretches and daily relaxation

I waited for 4 years, and I'm 70% healed. Most men have waited far longer than you, as resources such as AHIP and this message board have only become available recently. You should have a good chance to recover completely.

Besides, if you are worried about waiting until June, why don't you start doing some of the SP now? You don't need to wait until a clinic to do that. Start stretching, doing external therapy, and doing relaxation. It might make the clinic more meaningful if you have some experience in some of the protocols.
