I hope everyone is having a good holiday. I had a good time with my family and now I'm off to Australia for two weeks and then Chicago for a week. I will try and answer some more emails while I'm gone and perhaps update. Right now I have made an appointment with Dr. Kellogg of the Pelvic and Sexual Health Institute in Philadelphia. Her first available was the beginning of February, so I'm interested to hear what she has to say.
Since the flight is going to be 21 hours today, I brought a lot of Lidocaine patches. I also plan on getting up and moving so I am not sitting too long.
Have a Happy New Year!
I was a chronic pelvic pain patient who wrote about my health struggles for 7 years. After successful treatment and returning to school, I am about to become a women's health physical therapist. Some estimate 5% of women as well as millions of men will experience pelvic pain in their lifetime, yet they are under-researched, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. In the midst of rapidly evolving medical discoveries and technology, priority needs to be given to pelvic pain.

I've heard wonderful things about Dr. Kellogg. My specialist is Dr. Nyrjesi at Hahnemann, but I'm about ready to give him the boot and see Dr. K. Good luck and enjoy your travels!
Hi Lora,
My daughter also sees Dr. Nyrjesti, I hope you have a better luck than we did. After about 7 visits down there her refered us to a Neurologist and a Pain Specialist. I also made an apointment with Dr Kellogg and hopefully she can help us.
I wish you luck.
Take care,
