I have only been treated for IC for about 5 months. I am so frustrated right now, because I was beginning to feel a bit better until today, and it is horrible, unending pain again.
I am taking Emiron 200 mgs twice a day, Elavil 75mgs at bedtime, zoloft, prelief, and phenergan (because of nausea from elmiron), I have seen the uro for instills for about 2 1/2 months, a couple of weeks we did 2 instills, and he just moved me back down to 1 per week last week. Tonight I took Lortab for the pain, and it barely helps at all, I have no idea what to do. I have my heating pad on, and it still just throbs.
Does anyone have any ideas, what should I ask for when I talk to the doc? I hate that IC is so unheard of, nobody at my work really understands what is going on, I try to explain why I need so many breaks, and my boss just looks at me like I am insane. Sorry, I think this turned into a rant, I just want some advice on treating the pain. I thought I was getting better, but I still haven't had a pain-free day in well over 6 months.
