Apparently this is a remission
I went to my doctor and told him that up until that week I had been feeling great. No burning, no pressure, no real frequency (went to the bathroom more than others but no more than 6-7 times a day). I could go more places comfortably (car ride still bothered me a little). He told me that's what he calls a remission! :woohoo: It lasted about 2 to 3 weeks. Then it was blown to hell for a week when my PTs tranie guy did something to my back that made everything hurt (back, knee, leg, bladder, ect.) But it's back to better now. No burning, no irritation, no urgency, some frequency but it's "that time of the month" and I am loosing water weight.
Anyway, I am so happy that I don't need any pain meds (havn't really needed them except twice this month--2 pills).
My mom had planned a trip to Disney World in FL for April1-April6. So hopefuly it will last through my trip. The uro did however write me out a script for Darvocet N (12 pills) for when I go incase I have a lot of pain. How nice of him. In the year and a half I have been seeing him, he has never written anything stronger than Ultram 50mg 2x daily for 20 pills. He isn't a fan of giving narcotics to children. But I guess he figures that since I am going to be far away and have been responsible med wise. He told me if my mom dragged me on the "It's a Small World" (which as described by him as strange and annoying--it involves being in a boat flating down a "river" with small robotic dolls from around the world singing, "it's a small world after allllll" over and over) ride he would understand if I need to take a pill or two to dull the pain. He makes some joke attempts that are actually funny.
Anyway, I am so enjoying this while it lasts! Gonna stick to the IC diet like a champ. and make sure not to eat anything that could make me flare.

My remission lasted about 4mos. Having a few more flares now, but think its b/c uro downed my Elmiron to twice a day and I kinda went nuts and ate a bunch of "bad" foods
Still its much better than it was before. I feel like I have my life back finally!
Thanks for sharing the good news!
