Just thought I would let everyone know Urelle is back!

Hi,
Does it work better than phenazopyridine w/ less side effects?

Moderate IC since 1999, pelvic floor dysfunction and myofascial pain, IBS, Vestibulitis, Sinusitis, Asthma, moderate-severe GERD since1998, Allergies -environmental, medication, food & chemical since 1996, gluten free and improving since 9/2007, Tendinitis, FMS Dx 4/2007 but have had symptoms since 2001, Reynaud's Syndrome. Current Rx & Tx:Neurontin, Prilosec 40mg, Reglan, Albuterol, Pulmicort, Flonase, Detrol LA 4mg, Urelle, Align, Jarro-dophilus EPS, D-Mannose, marshmallow root tincture. Pelvic floor release- internal and external since 12/06. Bladder instills:sodium bicarb/elmiron/lidocaine. Previous Rx:
Lyrica 75mg, Nortriptyline, & amitriptyline -too many side effects. Elmiron 100mg: - stomach upset/ too strong, but effective. Vesicare -hurt bladder, burned. Apri- made flares worse. Zovia: -hair fell out, severe gastritis, made IC worse. Pyridium: makes me sick. Procedures:
Urodynamics: 8/2001 Radiogragh w/ contrast-distension: 5/1999 Tonsil/adenoidectomy: 12/1997 Cholecystectomy: 2/2006, cystoscopy 1/2008- trabeculations esp. on Rt. side of bladder wall (apparently ruffles aren't the only things with ridges).
absolutely - it's the only med that's worked for me
the antispasmodic (hyoscyamine sulfate) calms down the urethra (which is where i had a lot of pain) and helps with inflammation
then, there's phenyl salicylate as an analgesic, and the rest of the ingredients have an antiseptic/antibacterial effect
you can take it up to four times a day, and it turns your urine a blue/green
Cool, must try!
God Bless You!

I called my prescription mail-order place today and a 90-day supply of Urelle is on its way to me. What a relief - I can't wait to start peeing blue again!
