Often thought this could flare me but put it to the test last night. I ate a stew but with a spicy packet mix one we normally don't have as its been to hot in the past !Thought nothing of it, after a few hours and went to bed, exactly 6 hours after eating this I was awoken with flare up managed to get back off to sleep and then come the morning I was still bad not as bad but still worse than press stew. Anyway first piss burnt like acid and throughout today its slowly eased off almost back to pre flare
I have a feeling onion can trigger me as well, I'm risking short term flares for long term knowledge and benefit, I'm one of them who can flare for no reason of course I flare after sex and alcohol etc but the out of the blue flares may be at last showing there colours to me
Anyway just thought I would share this with you, while on line
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
and throughout today its slowly eased off almost back to pre flare
