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 lifeSorry 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.
