Back in 2016, I went down the rabbit hole of chronic pelvic pain. I think my old posts cover the whole story, but thanks to this forum and realizing it was a mind-body issue, I was able to reach what I consider complete recovery.
I've been shifting emails and noticed I'd got some notification from a followed thread. Decided to log back in.
If you're wondering if some people on here just get better, and that's why they're not posting, I'm one of them! I remember spending hours online each day trying to figure out what was wrong with me and wondering how certain stories ended. Mine is I got better!
I suppose when I do face some health issues, I do stop to think "Is this a mind-body pain issue?", many once or twice a year, but it's usually over minor transitory issues. I guess I accept that my brain can hallucinate pain, but it's something that I can catch early. I'm happy to say I haven't experienced any chronic pelvic pain since at least 2017, and that was fairly mild and easily addressed.
If you're reading this, and working through things yourself, I hope my story gives you some hope. I know reading the experiences of others back in 2016 gave me a lot of hope, and helped me get better.
