    Day two of Prosed--

    I'm having bladder spasms that are even worse than when this all began 7 months ago. Also, my frequency has increased since beginning this med---is this common? Should I stick it out or call the urologist and demand something else?

      days to work

      Prosed can take several days to diminish a flare on me. But it doesn't agree with everyone. In fact I'm just going to post about the blue part which can be an irritant apparently. Post what happen to you on it. PV.
      I got IC in 1970! I was not diagnosed until 1991. I've tried many drugs and therapies but I tend to only resort to drugs when in a flare because when I am not in a flare (from being good on diet), I suffer only from small bladder volume (like about 7 ozs.) and peeing will relieve the discomfort. When I am feeling relatively normal, I say to myself I am glad I am not on a drug. When I am in a flare, I say, why am I not on a drug! I've recently have been trying to solve my connective issue problems in general. I look to diet and herbs mostly unless it gets really bad. I still think there is great hope for each individual finding a path to healing and there are many.
