So, I am in another long flare. Don't seem to be able to get it to go away. Am eating a strict IC diet. This flare came on Thursday night after I ate at Chick-Fil-A. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce only and waffle fries.
I have been in pain with lots of frequency/urgency since then. I cannot get in to see a urologist anywhere here until next week. I upped my Nortriptylene, but that worries me, too because I don't want to become dependent on a higher dose for it to work.
Most of my previous flares I've been able to get to calm down far before 5 days with a heating pad, prelief/tums, and lots of water along with the strict IC diet.
Has anyone any other ideas for coping with the flare and getting it to calm down? I cannot do the baking soda in water because I suffer from congestive heart failure.
Help, please

I really don't have any other suggestions. I'm in a killer flare myself brought on by my period. It hurt to walk last night which I've never had before. I hope someone else gives you some suggestions and you start to feel better soon.
