Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Support Group

I read this one somewhere - and it's not just funny, it's a clever way to handle a situation - if it should ever happen to one of us!

I actually did take prymidium for a few days but had a reaction and had to change to Urelle. But both change the color of our urine. Prymidium changes it to a bright orange color -- but it also soothes bladder and UTI irritations, so it could be worth it.

The story is a woman was on a car ride with friends and traffic was not cooperating! Caught in a jam and needing to go to a restroom! She held as long as she could but eventually she lost that battle due to the pain. Sadly, she was wearing white pants! Solution, to have her friend go through the drive thru of a McDonald's where she ordered an orange soda that she "accidentally" spilled on herself as they passed it to her through the window! It gave her an explanation, at least for the orange stain.

Now...taking Urelle which turns urine blue, I'm not sure what I could order....except maybe not wear white pants!

And - after reading this I did have questions about why she didn't just run inside to the restroom instead of the drive thru...but I wasn't there. Have no idea! I just thought that it might help somebody some day...you never know! And if nothing else, it has made me smile - and we can all use a little company in our struggles! and a smile :)
Peace to you....and less pain!
