Good to speak to you all again. thought I better tell you that life is going great. Job going well, met someone special, and in terms of mental and physical health much better.
I haven't had any significant pain since last September which is great. I had a 2 week flare up in November which I discussed here. I ended that by doing some internal work which | now do once every 2 weeks. I stretch regularly and meditate 2-3 times a week. My outlook on life and my emotional well being is obviously much healthier now too. I appreciate life much more and worry less. I do have occasional setbacks (not pelvic pain) where I get stressed and burned out. But that is bound to happen occasionally. I know now that if I burn the candle both ends and ignore my needs as a sensitive, caring individual I start getting stress symptoms.
The wheat/gluten free diet is still going strong and I continue to find more things I can eat. It really doesn't hinder my life and I feel much better for it! I'm even looking to help others with the problem in my local area through advertising.
As I said in my post of old, I believe this whole health scare was teaching me something and was for a purpose. I can wholeheartedly say that that has proven to be true. I no longer fear chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome and I have the tools to beat it. Plus I never went to California and taught myself trigger point treatment! (You can too).
Take care, be strong and keep the faith. When you get through the dark days (in time) you will see that your life has taken on a whole new dimension compared to the ego led, materialistic, spiritually dead, fast paced life of old!!
Cheers (especially for Carl d!)
Greg
