Yes.

Especially at the beginning/onset of my PN. No pain, intermitent symptoms. Eventually everything got worse that very fist year symptoms first appeared. It took a year for me to get serious about wondering what it was and do something. I regret waiting.

Even today I can have no pain but other symptoms. PN is an odd duck from day to day it can be different.

My mom is visiting me and I do not drink, but we enjoyed an alcoholic beverage last night after dinner and OH MY GOSH. My PN was the worse flare I have had in 2 weeks. Was it coincidence or was it the alcohol? Who knows. But it is the last drink I will have for a long good time since it broke my time of pain free bliss.

PN is a crap shoot. I never know from day to day what it will be like.
