Yep I've definitely got those too. They suck for sure.
Thank you for answering my questions and easing my troubles. Ill probably keep asking if I think of any other questions. Thanks again

Do people ever notice shakiness and trembling of the hands?

Hey webslave,
Noticing some improvements. For a few days there I had noticeable improvements in cognitive function only to feel like its slipping now. Is it normal to go back and forth between feeling good and bad while doing therapy?

Ps I'm doing the whole wise protocol.

Thanks. It definitely has improved in the 5 days at the clinic. Kind of blew my mind.
I don't feel pain so it's confusing how it still affects the mind so much

How long did it take you to get normal cognitive function?
It's been about 6 months for me now since the wise clinic and I've seen a lot of improvement with pain, easiness of treatment etc but I still seem to have some fogginess.
Mind you, it's MUCH better than before, but it's still not normal or even bordering normal.
Any advice?

My brain fog cleared when I stopped gluten.

How long from when you stopped gluten did it take to feel better?

How long did it take to get rid of chronic fatigue, libido, anxiety, and depression issues?

Quite quickly with the fatigue (weeks). I did not have the other issues you mention at the time.

So did you have CPPS at the time?
How far into it or into recovery were you?

This may be unrelated but I have tons of scalene and sternocleidomastoid trigger points. Basically my whole neck. I researched and neck trigger points, specifically the SMC, cause all these cognitive issues. Have you ever check your neck out or looked into this webslave?

I just looked into this a few days ago and had my mom help me with the therapy on my neck. I woke up today with better brain function but then I treated them again tonight and it flared my brain fog up. Or at least I assume that's what flared me up. Would love some input.

I have never been to a PT. I treat myself with a Theracane to shoulders and neck, and a Wahl Massager

Oh sweet that could be great. Does it work out trigger points or just sorta massage it?

Also what's your opinion of neck trigger points in relation to cognitive issues?

The Wahl does help, but direct hard pressing is vital too.

I don't think trigger points directly affect cognition. Remember that CPPS patients often have fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). CFS can definitively affect cognition.
