I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

I'm also curious about this one. Has promise. Check out what people are saying about the product "Curamin" in chronic pain and inflammation, particularly with regard to muscular pain syndromes.

This is interesting! I use turmeric every day in herbal tea, along with cayenne pepper and ginger. I put these all in my porridge and when I'm cooking with every meal I put turmeric on garlic and onions and fry them. It's great in rice. It has anti-cancer properties and can be very helpful in inflammatory conditions like ours and arthritis. Our dog had arthritis in her back leg and as a result hopped around on three legs, we put turmeric in her food and still do and she's back on all fours!

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd go that far, but holistic and alternative medicine does deserve more attention and respect. Problem is that there is no money in it for the pharmaceutical companies who conduct or fund most pharmacokinetic type research.

I found these capsules on amazon the other day. I might give it a shot after my quercetin experiment I trying now. I picked up the spice but I am not to fond of the taste to eat it more than a few times a week.
