Hey Newstown, of course we remember. If it were solely down to drinking, it might still remain the same in a worst case scenario, but getting worse after a longer time of sobriety does indeed indicate there's more going on. In the PN forum there's always be plenty of talk about co-morbidity, i.e. several causes for the same disease in one person.

Still, if it was also due to you taking statins or those antibiotics, I'm assuming you stopped taking those, and it still gets worse, is that correct? For me it's still getting better, but very very very slowly. Definitely not getting worse though, of that I'm 100% sure. It's now more a "sometimes very annoying" disease as opposed to a "constantly burning horrible pain" one.

Let's hope that medication goes forward soon, it would make a lot of people happy...
