I have been diagnosed with CSS and Mayo recommended their 3 week program. I don't need occupational therapy or pain management as I am not on any type of Opioids. I am already understanding a lot of the concepts of pacing yourself and eating differently and breathing exercises. It is expensive and apprehensive about doing this program so I am also in the hopes of some people's experience with that program. Thank you 🙂

Hi there @kmdenton33. Living with CSS can be very challenging. I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with it. I completely understand your apprehension about applying to the pain rehab program, it is expensive and a big commitment for 3 weeks.

My experience with PRC was fantastic and life changing. It was intense, but well worth the investment as it taught me so much about myself physically emotionally and behaviorally, and gave the tools for me to have a better quality of life. What I liked best was that PRC teachers fundamentals of comprehensive pain management which apply to the person as a whole. It's important to go in with an open mind and be dedicated to learn and accept change. FYI, you don't need to be on opioids to attend the program.

There is a the CSS video by Dr Sletten from the Florida pain rehab Center which really gives a good breakdown of what CSS is and how the program helps. Have you seen this video yet?
