Update and...what gives, I gotta pee dude!

[chath]

A little update for those seeking encouragement. I went to Dr. Wise's clinic back in Aug of '07...so we are coming up on a year. I happy to say that the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol is truly a blessing. I would say after about 9 or 10 months of rigorous treatment (relaxing at least once a day, sometimes 30 mins in the morning, 20 mins at lunch and 30 mins in the evening....stretching at least once a day....and internal work a few times a week) I really hit my stride and starting coming out of the fog of CPPS. I still have some symptoms...but really minor. I can handle them and generally they don't worry me. I found that worrying and anxiety really pore fuel on the fire. So, for those of you who are just starting the SP or are only a few months in, keep up the work, you will get the results...have faith.

But...I got a weird symptom going on now....like, dude, I gotta pee like crazy. But...no pain. Strange for me, at least. I always had a pain issue. Some frequency, but nothing like this. I have a sort of tight feeling right over the bladder. My question for those in the know: is this CPPS? Bladder infection?

If this is a sudden new symptom you've never had before, see a family doc to check for infection. Otherwise ask yourself if you've suddenly changed your diet (new foods, new drinks, different quantity of drink).

I have experienced the same pee episodes, they usually pass after a couple days...

The frequency thing can be very unpredictable. The only advice I would have is to make sure you keep yourself hydrated. I think that my frequency sometimes increases when i let myself get more dehydrated and my urine is more acidic.

I'm not certain - but it's a theory...

It's gotten better.......It started on Sunday (was at it's worst Monday night) and has gradually eased since. GRRRRRR frustrating.

Sounds like.....I will be cruising along doing great and then wham for a few days frequency kicks up. It is annoying and I do worry everytime it won't stop but does, so now I just ride it out. I think it may have something to do with my abs just tightening up after while. I seem to flair up ever few weeks now I believe. During my good spells I drink soda(1 to 2 per week), eat whatever and no problems and then for know known reason frequency or muscles will just tighten up around lower abs. I am just hoping good spells get longer and longer!
