Hi,
Found This Message Board A Week Ago And I'm So Relieved. I Reread The Success Stories Constantly. They Make A Huge Difference When I'm Scared. Here's My Story:
A Year And A Half Ago Was On Vacation At The Beach. I Felt Like I Had A Bad Urinary Infection. Had Not Had One In 20 Years. So Of Course I Drank Tons Of Cranberry Juice. When I Got Back Home I Saw My Gyno And She Gave Me Antibiotics. It Didn't Go Away So We Tried Another Round Of Antibiotics. The Pain Was Up To My Rib Cage And My Lower Back. I Peed Constantly!!
I Was Sent To A Uro. She Said She Was Going To Fill My Bladder Up. I Said How Much Do I Have To Drink? She Said We Use A Catheter. I Almost Died As I Heard On The Web It Was Extremely Painful. I Brought My Ipod And Just Blasted It In My Ears. I Could Barely Hold Anything. She Said I Had Ic. Never Heard Of It. She Gave Me A Prescription For Urelle. I Started Out With 3 A Day. Then Gradually 1 A Day. For The Next Year I Took 1 Urelle At Bedtime And Had No Problems, Nothing!!
Then Urelle Was No Longer Being Made. I Went To Different Drugstores And Could Not Get My Hands On It. So I Took Nothing For A Couple Of Days And It Came Back With A Vengence. I Called The Uro And She Prescribed Pyridiem. That Did Nothing. She Wrote A New Script For Urelle And Said It Would Be Back In Drug Stores Within A Week. She Gave Me Samples Of Urelle.
I Finally Was Able To Buy Urelle And Now The Damn Thing Doesn't Work. I'm Taking 3-4 A Day. Pain, Pressure, Backache And Peeing Constantly. I Can't Believe How Good I Felt For A Year And A Half And Just Two Little Weeks Without Urelle Changed Everything For Me. Did This Happen To Anyone Else?
Now A Couple Of Questions: I'm Seeing The Uro Again This Wed. I Called And Said I'm In So Much Pain And Nothing Is Working.
What Do You Think Would Be The Next Meds, Elmiron? Is It Best To Nip This In The Bud Quickly? My Doctor Is A Uro But Not An Ic Specialist, Am I Better With A Specialist? I Also Live Near Lij Where
Dr. Moldwin Is. Has Any Seen Him? What Were Your Thoughts?
I Also Have Fibro/cfs But Have Taken Care Of That Awhile Ago. Function Quite Well And Family And Friends Don't Even Know I Have It.
Again I See Dr Day After Tommorrow. I Want To Be Equipped When I See Her In What To Ask Or Say. So I Would Be Eternally Grateful For Anyone's Suggestions.
The Following Are Meds I Am Taking Now: Nadh For Cfs ( An Over The Counter Product) Ultracet One In The Evening For Fibro Pain, Elavil 40mg At Nite Which Was A Godsend For The Fibro Pain.
I'm Such A Private Person But I Said I Have To Talk To Someone And What A Great Bunch Of People I Have Found!! Should I Discover Something Helpful I Promise To Pass It Along.
Thanks So Much,
Momere
