That sounds like a UTI to me also! I also agree that driving helps. I went on a road trip about 4 days after I was diagnosed and my friend wanted to drive. But for some reason I was the most comfortable driving. So I drive the entire way from dallas to san antonio and back. She drove the small distances in between when I wouldn't be sitting long. I will be taking myself a nice long drive tomorrow....after a nice long walk. Hope that helps!

I ALWAYS have burning when I have a flare up. One of my main symptoms. But I do have the at home UTI test...I will use one and see.

I would sure be checked for a UTI if you have burning of any kind at anytime. It never hurts to be safe.

feel better
I hope you feel better. For flares I have come up with regimine that helps alot based on other people's tips.
I take everyday:
*MSM to try and begin rebuilding tissue
*Glucosamine to try and begin rebuilding tissue
*fish oil for coating bladder from irritants or take with ify food
*TUMS ( with symptoms and with food- I have found these to do wonders for the burning flares in my bladder/urethra- take as directed about 3 or 4 at a time 2X a day if needed with water.)
*UTI tincture from native remidies to help treat and prevent bladder infections
*plenty of water
* I really try and always follow the IC diet, stay away from those irritants! (if you are always flaring remember to drink lots of water)
I do okay with In n outs burgers with cheese and grilled onions for flavor- no mayo or sauce or ketsup. Wendys chocolate frosty are great and so yummy , homemade soups, subway turkey roastbeef sub with am cheese and oil w/a little salt instead of comdiments, really yummy...try and take tums before or after anything you are unsure of * I also take a detoxifier to remove toxin build up in the body ( may be an irritant)
For flares-
light stretching, sit making a v with legs, strech side to side and down middle
* don't be a passenger if you don't have too I notice driving helps stop flares (mabye using your musles helps)
*try taking tums and a glass of h2o
*try and reduce levels of stress ( try a comical movie like one w/ will ferrel he's hillarious!!!!!!)
* if you vagina is hurting, freeze water in a baggy making a thin sheet, then slide the sheet in "slightly" to numb yourself to take the edge off of that pain. It helps!!!
Will be trying:
*a suppliment to try and regulate hormones
*quercitin and aloe pills they have at the Icn shop

During a flare do you feel burning while urinating....
Ok not while more like when you are finishing. I normally feel relief til about I am almost done peeing. I mean right at the end...causes me to hunch over a bit and push on my tummy....almost radiates pain up to my chest and such....then it will stop until after I wipe. Then the burning starts up again.Tags: None
