I finally broke down and saw a new uro yesterday. It's been three years since I last saw one. I had a couple of years of remission but now....definitely back with a vengenance. The new uro told me that he's reluctant to diagnosis IC but I may actually have it. This was after I told him that I had been diagnosed by another uro with Classic IC. So, he's recommending that instead of my old treatment of Atarax, Detrol LA and Pyridium, that I do the DMSO instillations. He says it's the gold standard for treatment. I'm not crazy about the idea of that but willing to try anything right now since my regular doctor (also new) is less willing to prescribe pain meds. Can anyone share some thoughts about this strategy? Does it really help with the pain?
Thanks,
Julie
