Great treatment flowchart on page 19 of the pdf -
Yes, it's help me a lot after 6 weeks.
I also do better after 3 months.
But to be honest, I see a huge difference after one year.
I can cheat for a coffee (low acid) or small amount of chocolate now.
I am almost pain free. Some time I have some burning or urgency but it's very rare now.
Elmiron and Elavil almost save my life
Sorry if my english is not perfect. My first language is french.
Current treatments:
-IC diet
-Elmiron 300mg
-Elavil 20mg at night
-Ditropan 5mg if needed (mostly in menstrual flare)
-Alesse Continuous use birth control pills
-Pyridium if needed
-Tradamol if needed
-Tylenol codeine if needed
I also take
Avapro high blood pressure
Maxalt migraine
Benadryl for allergies
It's take 2 years before I got my diagnostic. I am the lucky one that Elmiron help a lot. Frequency and Urgency make me crazy at first. And after 1.5 years, burning in my bladder coming.
