Diagnosed:
Dec 2005
Diagnosis:
IC
Cysto/Hydro:
Dec 2005
Other Conditions:
Anxiety, Insomnia, Chronic Sinusitis, Bursitis of the hip, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, PFD, Inflamitory Arthritis of the neck, Allergy to Yeast and Dairy
Meds for IC:
Prosed/DS as needed which works much better for me than Pyridium, Prelief, Coffee Tamer, Claritin 5mgs and sodium bicarb as needed.
Alternative Treatments
Physical therapy for 8 weeks, Acupuncture (just started).
Other Meds:
Skelaxin (as needed)
Didn't work:
Detrol LA (didn't help symptoms), Pyridium 200mg isn't working very well anymore.
Tried:
Elmiron (Major Dizziness), Hydrodistention (Greatly exacerbated IC symptoms), Urised (hard time breathing), Ditropan (bladder pain the next day), Rescue Instillations - Lidocane, sodium bicarb (all over body rash with itching), -
Most can prescribe them for short term use, but if a patient is in need of full time pain relief, they will usually recommend a pain management specialist. Doctors can have problems with their licencing if they prescribe "too many" narcotics.

They can prescribe them, but mine told me she doesn't like to. So now I'm going to see a pain management specialist that took me over a month to get in to.
Good luck.~Star B.
