6 years with CPPS

Take PEA as well. 4 weeks is not long for a flare-up, give it more time. Covid can create a post-covid situation that is not nice, at least in women, in whom "severe first-time genitourinary symptoms" can arise. A lot of post-covid symptoms fade in time, that's the good news, let's hope this one does too. Avoid getting re-infected and keep up to date on vaccines.

Thank you webslave. I will investigate that PEA avenue. My condition is very volatile. I had very good two weeks (pain diminished to 2/10) but now I am struggling again with that neuropathic pain. This year is very rough.

Few updates: Flare up in the spring faded away in late March within few days. Some baseline discomfort remained but it did not bother me much. I tried to be active in the summer like every year, swimming, a lot of hiking and enjoying life. Quite a lot of travelling, altogether 7 weeks on the road. Luckily none of the trips was contaminated with pelvic problems, I somehow managed to enjoy every moment. Cca from the end of October I felt that the tension is increasing again. Still no major pain, but "heaviness" in the pelvis and some minor aches were more prominent. I had a session with my PT, who said that pelvis is knotted but "not as much as in the past". I intensified my stretching routine, resumed Quercetin and 3-Omega but it was probably too late. Undergone a tough period in my work (some organisational changes with unclear outcome) and I felt that anxiety is again on my shoulders. Full blown flare up started in early December, prominent neuropathic, burning pain in my groin, perineum and especially scrotum (paresthesia in scrotum surface, this is truly debilitating). Considering to start low dose Amitriptyline again and after New Year I will add PEA supplements. Maybe I will try new PT who has very good references. Wishing speedy recovery to all who suffer and Happy New Year 2025.
