Hi all,
I'm not not brand new but I did not know where else to put this. I was diagnosed with IC through a hydro in December and since then have been prescribed elmiron and atarax but have been afraid to take them because of all the side effects. I've been watching my diet and taking uribel (simular to prosed and urelle) which have both greatly decreased my discomfort. I still do flare about twice a month.
After my diagnosis I went to a doctor who practices both natural and conventional medicine who had me start cystoprotek and probiotics to see if they made a difference before we started atarax and elmiron. After starting the natural remedies I've been noticing quite a bit more frequency and some pain, 2 things that were generally under control before. My uro doesn't believe in natural remedies and my other doctor is hesitant to try elmiron etc. I'm super confused and need help. I'm afraid that if I don't do anything that things will get worse and I will be beyond help. Any advice?
