Jo VO
At 47 I was like you on your birthday. Its been a lot of hard work but I am now 49 and 80% better. Hang in there stay focused on the bigger picture. The flares are part of things stretching back to where they need to be. Set yourself a routine ie. Series of stretches you do and a certain amount of meditation a day and gentle exercise to start with. Read some good stuff like "Full Catastrophic Living" by Jon Kabat-Zinn and the "Headache in the Pelvis' and plug away you will get there. And if you have any energy get on a wholefoods diet as per the ask Walt Stoll website and things WILL improve.

CPP since 2005. Prior to CPP always overly fit and active. I am female. Had two natural births: singleton 1998 and twins 2000. 2002 emergency back surgery - L5S1 herniation. Then recurring UTIs. Usual antibiotic overload. Then constant debilitating burning bladder and reaction to many foods. Australian Pain Clinic 2007. Turning point was Dec 2009 Attended Wise Clinic in Santa Rosa USA.
Was helped by strict diet but now eating normally after years of restricted diet - wonderful. Helped by: stretching,relaxation, yoga, trigger point, warm baths. Worsened by: stress, sitting, abdominal or glute exercises and salicylates
Medication: Now off all pain clinic meds no more Endone or Elavil only Lyrica 50 mg as Dec 2010 just reherniated L5S1disc and had discectomy. Its taken years but I feel I am over it.
