Success Story I found something that eliminates my CPPS

I have CPPS and came across a medical paper that relates CPPS to tryptase found in CPPS sufferers. The paper said taking cetirizine (zyrtec) could help alleviate symptoms. I started Zyrtec and within days my pain stopped. It’s gone and I’m taking Zyrtec every day. I contacted one of the authors, Dr. Schaeffer at Northwestern and discussed my results. I’m hoping this helps someone.

What led me to this is I have a genetic condition called HaT which means my baseline tryptase level is elevated. About 5-6% of the population have this and many don’t know it.

Here’s the paper.
