    Pelvic Pain....Need some encouragement.

    Hi MissShamrocks, I've been a long time sufferer of CPPS myself. I understand how daunting this can be. I've spent many of days, dollars and the like trying to alleviate all physical symptoms in nearly anyway possible (short of surgery - thank God). There have been great strides forward...

    Andy, Thank you for your insightful response. I do practice paradoxical relaxation techniques (as outlined in the Wise-Anderson protocol), however, the techniques themselves do not partake in the idea of 'mindfulness' in a way that is rewarding or in any way satisfying to the heightened...

    First Entry - Chronic Pelvic Pain and a man down on his, well...everything

    Hello all, I'm new to this site, and new to the idea of TMS (thank you Howard Stern - a champion of Dr. Sarno's work...and a bababooey to you all) I've been suffering for three years from Chronic Pelvic Pain. I've had all the symptoms one could imagine, with an ever growing list of pains...
