A special thanks to WEbslave
I was re-reading older posts and one of the things that I realized is how long WEb has been keeping this forum / site going. At one point several years ago I read how he wasn't sure he had the time or energy to keep it going, but he has and I think he desires a Thanks from all of us!!
So I'd like to be the first to THANK HIM for his diligence and commitment to this site. It is invaluable!!

Re: A special thanks to WEbslave
Good point - a thanks to all the moderators as well!! They are doing a fantastic job as well - Kevin, Scotsman, and of course JAY!!
Although it's been hard to hear the truth at times - I've appreciated the candor as I've needed it. I still have a zillion questions, but that's ok - there's a lot of good info on this board and I'm always happy that there are some good suggestions and answers in older posts as well!!

Re: A special thanks to WEbslave
Only someone who has been through this and understands what we are going through would have the dedication, patience and understanding to keep this site up and running. God only knows how many people lives you have touched with the work you have done with this site. I would have been lost without this site and probably be at the brink of insanity. Hats off to you webslave and you moderators! 
I'm sure there are many men out there still looking for answers and I hope they can find there way here and get some help. The SP needs to be taught in medical schools all around the world! Thanks again and going to sleep after good day at the beach with friends thanks to all of you!

Thanks again and going to sleep after good day at the beach with friends thanks to all of you!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!

Re: A special thanks to WEbslave
To Webslave and all the mods 
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

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.

Re: A special thanks to WEbslave
I thank you for the show of appreciation, and I must also join in on applauding Webslave and my fellow moderators. Mark has been helping me through my darkest of times, and he is a genuinely good fellow.
I must also extend thanks to those members who helped me before I began to get a handle on my own situation. Thanks to you guys, I did not give in totally to despair and panic. My deepest gratitude to you all for that, and to all who contribute to this community, moderator or not.
