    Not feeling well

    I am not feeling well today......have been feeling like I was getting sick for the last 2 weeks and finally went to the doctor today. I have a sinus infection and the beginning of the flu
    The doctor gave me some antibiotics and a decongestant which I can't take because it is making my pulse rate race. I told him that I have had that problem before so he told me to take 1/2 of the tablet and that it was a child's dose.....it still is making my pulse race. I am going to try the Coricidin HBP and see if that will work instead. Has anyone tried it?

    Sorry you're feeling so horrible. I have never had that problem with a decongestant so I can't be of any help in that department. Just sorry to hear that you feel yucky (((hugs)))

    I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
    1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
    2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
    I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.

    I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)
