I never dreamed that this thing would actually get better but getting the treatment for the PFD (PT), relaxation, weight loss, exercise and a healthier diet is really making a difference.
I'm gonna be bummed once I get better because you're like my bros and I just want you guys to know that this does get better if you can manage to take care of yourselves.
Keep on guys because there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Patience and persistence is the key.
Really getting better - I'm so amazed & encouraged

Nice one, E. I think the main thing is you found a good Uro who was up to date with current medical thought, identified PFD and put you in the right direction.
Glad to hear it's going well and you don't have to go if you feel better - remember, there are guys out there who will need to hear good news if their number comes up.

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.
