Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
I was diagnosed with I.C around 3 1/2 years ago. However I believe I had the beginning of the symptoms when I was in high school. I started having pain a year before I was diagnosed and a hysterectomy before that... thinking that the pain was coming from endomet. Thank God my Doctor knew about I.C and sent me to a good urologist.
Treatments
- Elmiron Not Working
- I've been on this combo for the last two years, but nothing has seemed to change.
- Bladder Instillation Not Working
- Heparin Bladder Instillations just didn't work for me at all.
- Bladder Instillation Not Working
- Another type of cocktail which I believe was DSMO this caused me a lot of pain after the instillations and I had to quit having them. They did not work at all.
Close Menopause
I went into menopause around 4 years ago after I had a total hysterectomy. "Boy was it fun!" I had a lot of night sweats, irritability, and mood swings. I am hoping to find a better way to deal with my night sweats and am looking here for some answers.
Treatments
- Estradiol Working / Worked
- It seems like the Estradiol was working for my hot flashes for a while, but lately I've been having them bad, as well as bad headaches.
Open Miscarriage
I had two different miscarriages many years ago. They were both very traumatizing and caused me a lot of pain. It was hard, because I didn't know anything about miscarriage and felt alone and afraid when it happened. I would like to help anyone needing comfort through their time of pain, as I didn't have anyone to turn to and just needed to talk a lot of times to deal with my pain.
