elmiron and bruising
My doctor told me I would bruise a lot easier on Elmiron and I do which makes me a little nervous, because what would happen in an accident, if someone were to get cut or something like that. I also get pins an needles easier when I am sleeping in my arms or legs if I fall asleep in a funny position. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Elmiron doesn't always make people bruise/bleed easier. I had the easy bruising/bleeding and for me it wasn't a big deal. My uro had me go off the Elmiron a week before I had knee surgery though, just as a precation.

IC
GERD
Tachycardia(resting rate is 125-130
)

Tramadol-as needed (IC)-50mg

HI! I typed in Elmiron and Brusing in google......and came up with a site that said it's a very rare side effect for Elmiron to cause brusing. http://www.healthtouch.com/bin/ECont...Elmiron&cid=HT Here's the site.
I've been on it almost a year with no problem at all. I don't think you need to worry......but if you are concerned......type it in google and do some research. Good luck! Roxie

For IC I use Elmiron, Elavil and Freeze dried Aloe Vera (it works likes Elmiron, but naturally)and Azo as needed. I also take Zegerid, Randitine for Barrett's Esophagus. (which causes me to have constant yeast infections!)I take Cymbalta for Neuopathy/Myopathy pain. I use the Climara patch for menopause symptoms. I'm on a very strict diet because of the IC, IBS and Gastric Bypass. I take Primal Defense Probiotics and whole food Iron.
I no longer have the awful urethral pain! I've been using MSM gel now for 4 mo. and haven't had a flare up or the urethra pain.....it's amazing stuff!!:woohoo:Comment
