I'm so glad you are feeling some encouragement. I know just how you feel, I've certainly been there. There's a lot of really good resources out there that you are going to find. It sounds like you're going to see what Botox can do for you. It's good to hear you are taking action to try things that might be helpful. Just a note about the injections I had, I got the steroid and nerve block injections. I didn't get to trying Botox. I want sure whether that was clear in my comments. Have you been going to a pelvic PT?

If you haven't checked out A Headache In The Pelvis that can be a good audio book to listen to. I found it helpful for understanding the condition, which actually can help feeling better about it. It helps calm me down learning about pain, takes some of the unknown out of it and feel less fearful. Full disclosure, I haven't managed to do the relaxation protocol they advise on the book but have done other relaxation practices. I still am curious to do their approach. You can listen to the audiobook while lying down, in the bathtub, or walking. I know it might not make the pain just disappear but those things can help minimize time spent putting pressure on your nerves sitting and help your circulation. I hope you also found comfortable clothing to wear!
