"The Secret"

05-15-2007, 05:02 AM

I picked up a copy and read it yesterday. It gave me a whole new outlook on IC and how I have been dealing with the disorder. I have been dwelling on the negative and bringing negative thoughts into my life. Time for a change.

I recommend reading it!!!!:woohoo:

Interstitial Cystitis: Elmiron and Hydroxyzine
Depression/Anxiety: Remeron, Cipralex and Clonazepam

*tried instills for nearly a year, had a break then started again for about 4 months...discontinued due to no improvement and increased flares
* 2 hydrodistentions :

* currently on "Nabilone" for pain management

Taken the following:
Gabapentin no relief but could tolerate it
Lyricano relief but could tolerate it
Cymbalta severe depression/anxiety etc.
Topamax severe nausea and weight loss
Oxycodone: I could tolerate if I used it for flares only...not for extended use due to constipation

What helps IC: yoga/meditation are my current treatments along with chiropractic and pelvic physiotherapy and acupuncture

Other conditions...
Vulvadynia (amytriptaline cream - no longer using to to irritation)
Severe IBS
Chronic Sinus pain (nasal rinse as need)
Migraines
Lower back and sacroiliac joint disfunction

Allergies: Erythromycin, scents and detergents
Tags: None
