Age: 29 | Onset Age: 26 | Symptoms: initially severe burning throughout pelvis - much better; muscles spasms all over region, back pain, chronic IBS (much better) | Helped By: Psychotherapy, SP stretches, swimming, accepting the condition (understanding there is treatment); stress/anxiety management; possibly basic quercetin; valerian root, vit B & calc & magn supplements; gluten avoidance & especially dealing with chronic constipation. | Worsened By: stress / anxiety, too much sex; repressed emotions; personality goodist traits. 80% better
Greg, it really seems in your case, it is very closely related to Mark's case in the way of diet and Gluten. Of course anxiety is of major importance to keep at bay.
For my self I don't know yet if gluten is a factor because I have yet to stay off the stuff for more then a few days before my addiction brings me back to some great garlic bread
etc... Anxiety causing muscle tightness and neuropathic inflammation have been key factors for me. At this point I have started letting go of what caused this in the first place and focus on what makes it better.
Stress management
Quercetin
Aleve (naproxen) as needed
Elavil @ a low dosage
stretching and self internal work on muscles around the prostate
hot baths with relaxation and just knowing that I control my destiny and my recovery from this condition.

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

I wanted to respond to Gp2 post earlier in this thread as I am the guy you spoke to in Scotland.GP2 wrote:I met a guy in Scotland who has been in pain for 7 years & did not want to go on this forum because "it scared him"! Well - his obvious lack of knowledge & progress told me that he needed to visit here again. He also has been to Sebastopol but didn't "agree" with the stress / anxiety theory of CPPS!
You have misconstrued the comments I made to you and also misquoted me. The Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol is working for me. I also think it is unfair to make a judgement on someone's progress after only a very brief conversation in a waiting room.
I am grateful to this website as without it I wouldn't be on the path to getting better.
