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. |
I too, do not drink at all for over a year now, but when in tried to have a beer on a date to loosen up, I had hot flashes and horrible, horrible pins and needles for hours. I couldn't stop twitching. I will never try again. Aren't we lucky ..
