I am trying to decide whether to start instillations. My biggest problem is frequency. I'm taking elmiron for almost 90 days now, and may be seeing some reduction in pain. Hydrozyzine which I started a couple of weeks ago seems to be helping me with swelling...
I'm afaid of the instillations because my urethra is so sensitive. I had a lot burning when I was first diagnosed...My Urogyn prescribed a compounded cream with amitriptiiyne and thankfully, I used a only a small amount to test it. About 30 minutes later, boy was I burning..
So, what is the biggest benefit of instillations? I'd like to get a reduction in frequency, but I know the catheter is going to be a problem...
