I've heard that Cystoprotek can cause urinary frequency and bladder pain.
How long before those symptoms may subside? A few weeks, a month....?
Live Well

Diagnosed:
Dec 2005 Diagnosis:
IC Cysto/Hydro:
Dec 2005 Other Conditions:
Anxiety, Insomnia, Chronic Sinusitis, Bursitis of the hip, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, PFD, Inflamitory Arthritis of the neck, Allergy to Yeast and Dairy Meds for IC:
Prosed/DS as needed which works much better for me than Pyridium, Prelief, Coffee Tamer, Claritin 5mgs and sodium bicarb as needed. Alternative Treatments
Physical therapy for 8 weeks, Acupuncture (just started). Other Meds:
Skelaxin (as needed) Didn't work:
Detrol LA (didn't help symptoms), Pyridium 200mg isn't working very well anymore. Tried:
Elmiron (Major Dizziness), Hydrodistention (Greatly exacerbated IC symptoms), Urised (hard time breathing), Ditropan (bladder pain the next day), Rescue Instillations - Lidocane, sodium bicarb (all over body rash with itching),
Cystoprotek doesn't work for everyone, but I've never heard of it causing frequency or pain. It's not okay if you're allergic to shell fish, but otherwise it should be okay.
