Sould I really take it easy or just try and live normal life
I was trying to just relax at home and not push it, also avoiding activities and certain events because I am afraid I may push my body too hard and cause it to get worse. From what I have read a lot of this is stress related and depression does not help. What do you guys think- should I just try and get life back to normal??
Age 32, onset 32 Onset Aug 07- frequency was main problem in the beginning-really bad. Now 1 to 2x per night when frequency flairs up. Sore and tight lower abdominal muscles. Occasional burning after bowel movement and full feeling. What helps: Healthy diet(this is huge for me) Started drinking super greens supplament and almost going totally vegetarian to get body more alkaline, starting Prosta-Q, quercetin/zinc tablet in morning helped frequency problem I believe. Massaging abs and doing stretches helps calm down frequency when it is acting up. Wine or vodka after long day. Flexeral and melatonin at night. Swimming and light weights. .5 of Elavil every other day helps with frequency and healing process. Trying to stay positive and not stressing over this!

Live life as I say... charge hard in a relaxed way that's all. Start slow and do all the things you love and see what irritates and what doesn't. Scooby will tell you the same thing. He's slowly getting back into what he digs doing after following the protocol.calguy wrote:I was trying to just relax at home and not push it, also avoiding activities and certain events because I am afraid I may push my body too hard and cause it to get worse.

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.

Yep, I like how carl puts it.
I'm back to golfing and bodybuilding, actually I am competing in 3 weeks after dieting and training now for 10 straight weeks. Coming along nicely, I should be very competitive. Am I 100% healed, nope, I train around it. And some days I find the training helps its.
I have not played soccer yet, as that always really irritated those muscles. Seems I could play half a game with not much problems, but the second half always proved too much. And I'm not one to take myself out for a whole half, so I've stayed away for NOW.
Depression, yep, bad thing, you have to get out and enjoy yourself. I just keep telling myself this is muscular, I'm not dying, does it suck, you betcha, do I sometimes ask why, yep--but all in all I charge on in a more relaxed state like carl said.
Good Luck,
Ss

I also use that thought thinking it as muscular and not some nasty abnormal bacterial disease is the truth and a lot less depressing 
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me
