Yes I have heard of CSS, I have been through the Pain Rehab Clinic at Mayo in 2010 as well as Fibro Classes at Mayo. My current Physical Therapist has been reteaching/educating me about it as well. But reading the article you attached I realize I need to be more assertive on getting psychological help too. Also in my diagnosis are IBS, TMJ, Chronic Fatigue. As for new health issues, medications and weight loss are the immediate priority. Increasing activity has really flared my pain. I am doing my best trying to find balance or at least a way to get through.

Congratulations on doing your best to find balance and a way to get through. It must not be easy. Here are a couple of topics you may find helpful as you continue to increase activity and balance pain management:

Not sure if you attended Mayo's PRC in FL with Dr. Sletten 10 years ago, but in my opinion, he is a genius at what he does. I have heard of people who have circled back around and gone through the program a second time. I love the inclusive approach PRC takes with all 4 pillars of physical, emotional, behavioral and chemical evaluation and treatment. Have you considered going back through the 3-week PRC program?
