    Good evening my name is Jason and I'm suffering with priapism for over six months now I have had back issues for over over ten years I'm at my wits end with the priapism as I'm unable to get any decent sleep and so unable to do my regular job regards Jason

    Hi @Jason B
    Welcome!
    If you have not yet, please read any book by Dr. John Sarno as an introduction to TMS and the mind/body connection.
    Let us know what you think about it once you've read it.
    That's the best place to start!

    Hi @Jason B, the way we help people here is to respond to how they relate their physical and mental suffering to the concepts theorized by Dr Sarno. It's all about the psychological basis for having symptoms, and has nothing to do with the particular symptoms themselves.

    As you reread Sarno, be aware of how his theories relate personally to your symptoms and to your entire life, starting in childhood.

    Also, take some time every day to read posts on our Success Stories subforum. You can also use the search function within that subforum to find male pelvic symptoms if you want to focus on stories you can relate to, but at the same time, the physical details usually don't matter.

    caveat: - the above advice does not cover the possibility of an emotional connection to sexual dysfunction, which might require professional therapy since that's beyond the scope of a volunteer self help forum.

    Also: please note the medical caveat at the bottom of every page! You did not mention if you've ruled out a medical condition requiring treatment.
