I had a very similar recurrence during my last episode. After my regular 5 week run I had two weeks off, pain free, alcohol no problem. Then it started up again and ran another 4 weeks, fortunately mostly only 1 a day (as opposed to up to 6) right after I went to sleep. I went through a bit of denial in the middle of the second phase and tried drinking a couple beers. WRONG!!! It was amazing that at the end of the second episode I knew the day it was over, I could feel a remarkable change and had energy for the first time in awhile. The next day a couple beers and no problem.
Bottom line - I was worried that I had gone chronic, but it ended. I suspect yours will too. I hate it when the beast mutates!
cheers and best wishes for painfree times ahead.
