    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      I have been diagnosed with IC and I'm looking for advice on how to deal with it.

      Treatments

      Bladder Instillation Not Working
      EXTREMELY PAINFUL...I will NEVER do that again!!
      Elmiron Not Working
      Noticed no improvement in 3 years, gained 50 pounds. Gave up on that one.
      Pyridium Not Working
      Makes me sick to my stomach and turns my urine orange. Other than that, no difference in pain.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I cant take it regularly because I build up a tolerance. I take it every other night or so. Helps numb pain all over my body. Not like a narcotic or anything just helps keep the pain sensations down somehow.
      Dextropropoxyphene Working / Worked
      Used for only when its really bad such as during my period or when I have a headache and muscle aches from Fibromyalgia in addition to the IC.
