    • I’m With You

      From beachpeach43 June 9

      Hey Amy, I just went to my doctor today for scalding pain over the weekend. I had a bladder instillation a week or so ago, but still in pain. They look at you like you are NUTS because you still hurt. I know what you mean about how they look at you like you can't possibly be in that much pain. No one knows your pain but you so I am sending you a Big Hug from one pained sister to another!

    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      I'm 21 years old. I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis when I was 16 through Cystoscopy and the distention surgery. I've had two six week treatments of bladder washes. 1 round befor surgery and 1 after. So far, nothing has helped me. I lost my incurance and am only able to see a G.P.

      Treatments

      Bladder Distention Not Working
      did not work for me.
      Bladder Instillation Not Working
      did not work for me.
      Elmiron Not Working
      did not help me.
      Pyridium Working / Worked
      helps with the pain when I urinate, but does not help the spasms in my bladder when I urinate.
      Naproxen Too Soon to Tell
      TENS Considering
      Ordered one Off the internet, but I'm not sure how to work it. I tried it once and I shocked myself really bad, so I'm sure I got the settings wrong, and no one knows what to tell me!!
      Ultram Somewhat Helpful
      When it does help my pain goes from a 8 1/2 - 9 to 7 1/2ish. So, it does help some. This is April, So I've been on Tramadol for 5 months
      Elavil Too Soon to Tell
      Levsin Not Working
      didn't work for me. Did however help with my period pain...
