Hi Katheryn~
Thank you so much for your kind reply to my post. I think I am finding my "zone" with the diet, meds, and supplememts, for I feel today almost as good as the day before my first flare on 12-13-16. I am being very strict on the IC diet and as well take 2 Preliefs with every meal. Adding an antihistamine at night has really improved the night spasms and pain in my bladder that I am sleeping almost through the night:-) I hope this "remission" is long lasting. The one draw back the last two days is that I have my very first flu since diagnosed. My options are pretty limited for fever, body aches, (which are horendous in my lower back and pelvic region...do to the IC, maybe?) and head congestion. Donna gave me the name of a medicine (the name escapes me for the moment) and it helped but nothing works like Thera-flu. One of its main ingredietns is citric acid - an absolute no with IC. But I 'll get through this cold no problem because this is nothing compared to the suffering I felt with IC.
Thanks so much for your support. It is priceless to have others that truly can empathize and not just sympathize with you in regards to IC. This website has been life giving. Stay well...
