Hi all, I am new here and will post more later about me and my symptoms but time constraints just now limit me to the question:
Has anyone with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome tried hypnosis?
I did a search and the last info was dated 2004 so I felt the question to be a valid one!
Thanks in advance!

I did. Only once or twice, but I found it to be effective. I felt much better afterwards and for the rest of that day. And this was way back when the pain was constant and of a high pain level.
It was much like guideed daydreaming. BUt it definitely puts you in a slightly altered state.
I was a hard nosed scientist before I tried it and would never have believed it was real or would work. It is real, it works, and I have no idea how it does so. :)

This is not medical advice, and I am NOT a doctor of medicine or a related field.
* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.
