Just want to add my praise of Elmiron. I have been on it 10 months now. At about 3 months I first noticed slight improvement of my symptoms. Since then, I have had VERY GRADUAL but fairly steady improvement. Last month I had a flare and was afraid that might be the end of the road for me as far as how much improvement I would get from the Elmiron. Not so! Once I was past that ugly little flare (it was small compared to the flares I had in the beginning), I went back to feeling better. It dawned on me yesterday that this week has been the best I have felt since my IC journey began 1 1/2 years ago. While I don't feel "normal" yet, I know I am getting close to that. A year ago I was absolutely miserable. How grateful I am that Elmiron is working for me and I NEVER want to stop taking it! Others have stated the importance of allowing plenty of time for it to work. I believe that is the key to success with this med. I know how HARD it is to be patient and just hope it will work. Now I can say it was so worth the wait! To those just beginning treatment with Elmiron, hang in there! I really hope it will work for you, too!
