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.

German researchers found that people with a particular, common variant of the gene tend to have an exaggerated "startle" response -- a trait that could make them more vulnerable to anxiety disorders.

I know that I startle very easily, whereas my wife and son do not. I guess I have the anxiety gene. :58_83:
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

Now I wonder if there is also a link with this anxiety gene and adrenocortical hormone abnormalities and then CP/CPPS :?:
