I am soooo frustrated. I feel like I will never be able to enjoy sex without pain during and a flare afterwards.
As many may already know, I got my offical dx last Wednesday when I got my biopsy results. My uro gave me Elavil and Urelle to try and told me to keep on taking my Elmiron though I haven't really noticed a difference with it. I must say the Elavil really is helping. I was the person who sat with the heating bad either on my lap or on my back about 90% of the time at work and I didn't turn the heating pad on at all this week! I was very happy about that.
Wednesday night hubby and I had sex for the first time since I started the Elavil. I was really hoping that it would be better because of the Elavil. NOPE!!
It irrated the heck out of my bladder like normal. I had to get up to pee once in the middle of sex (by the way, I hate this it makes me feel like such a freak!) and the sex seems to have put me into a flare. I think the flare might be a little bit less intense than they were before I started the Elavil which is good but I am so depressed that sex still caused such a problem. Will there every be a time when it doesn't bother me????
Yes before anybody asks, we always use lube now, I have been taking my Urelle almost around the clock so I had that in my system and I peed before we started. Ugh!
Thanks for letting me vent.
