    DDAVP & Interstim

    After my Interstim results weren't that good (only helped a little), my uro started me on DDAVP (often used for bed wetters to slow down kidneys at night). I've tried DDAVP before, and didn't like it because it made it really difficult to start a stream when I got up at night, and it would really wake me up. This time it's totally different & not doing that, so I'm wondering if it's because I have the Interstim now.

    Anyone else try DDAVP? What did you think of it? Did it help long-term?
    IC & fibromyalgia since ~'77. Osteoarthritis since ~'88. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (autoimmune blood disease) since '96. IBS for who knows how long. Interstim implant 2/04, revised 6/06, replaced 11/12 & again in 9/17. Antibodies to thyroid since at least '92 (finally diagnosed & treated 1/06). Asthma & vocal cord dysfunction 12/06. Hypoglycemia '07. Perimenopausal at 37, menopause at 45. Pituitary & adrenal failure. Osteopenia. Grade 3 sacral fracture by S3-S4 at age 12, healed 14mm out of place.

              Here is a link to a drug index about DDAVP.

              http://drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,...|DDAVP,00.html

              It is supposed to reduce the amount of urine produced and make it more concentrated.

              I have never tried it before. I wish you luck with it this time around.
