Has anyone had any luck with a supplement exclusively to deal with their frequency. My IC is very mild and I have always had minimal pain. My biggest annoyance is frequency. I am a 29 yr old male and stick to a pretty strict IC diet.
Here is what I have tried...
Early Diagnosis-era
Elmiron - Did not work for me. Side effects included loss of hair
Elavil - Helped with urgency, but made me a zombie. I was tired 24/7
Ditropan XL - Seemed to work for a short time
Experimental-era
CystaQ - Did not work at all, urgency increased big time
Mushroom Root - Noticed no change
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera - Noticed no change
L-Arginine - Noticed increased erection, but no decrease in urgency
Chuck's Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM - stopped taking noticed no change
Currently taking
Barlean's Omega Man
Chuck's Quercetin Complex
Gaia Herbs Saw Palmetto
