Have you tried lots of rest, cold packs on the pelvic area and between the legs? Diet? Tylenol?

I've been sleeping with ice packs for years now. It's the only way I can quell the burning enough to fall asleep.

do you burn every night?!?!?! If so you poor thing!! It's been days on days off since I was diagnosed.............I can take the pelvic pain due to yrs of horrid period cramps, but the burning makes me crazy.................my heart goes out to you, this is such a hard and exhausting illness..............

hugs Kier

I've had IC for 21 years, and my main symptom has always been urethral burning. I have had a handful of days (maybe a dozen-or-so) in which I've had no burning over the years. So burning is not a 'flare' for me, as it is just a thing I live with on a daily basis 24/7.

When I'm flaring the burning intensifies, but I also get frequency and pain to go along with it. I truly do count ice as a blessing, for I don't know how in the world I would ever get to sleep at night without it.

i've had a flareup this week and today it is really bad. burning all day. like you, i burn all the time. never without some burning, but when i get a flareup that i have to resort to pain medication, it's so much worse. have not tried the ice. will certainly do that today and tonight.

yes it is just awful. i burn all the time but this past week i've had a flareup and the burning is so bad. i just took some baking soda in some water to try balance the ph in my urine and stop some of the burning. wish there was some medication to help. nothing i take seems to work but strong meds, like percoset and i don't want to take that all the time.
