I have Interstitual Cystitis, fibromyalgia, and severe anxiety and depression. I saw a specialist in California who said all my problems were central sensitization. I couldn’t afford keep seeing him because I live in Tn. I don’t know how to get help and I’m in extreme bladder pain. I would travel to the Mayo Clinic if it would help.

Hey Sandy @sandywilford. I'm terribly sorry for all you're going through. The Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center's 3 week outpatient program is offered at all 3 locations: Minnesota, Arizona and Florida. You can get started with this link and decide which location you'd prefer:

Have you researched Mayo PRC yet? There is a lot to become familiar with. Here is information:

And finally here is a discussion about my PRC journey that you may find helpful:

I see @colleenyoung has provided you with a discussion on Central Sensitization Syndrome. Have you read through it yet? Does the conversation resonate with you and did you find it helpful to know that you are not alone?
