    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      After 3 years of urinary frequency and pain, I was finally diagnosed with Ulcerative IC in January 2007. The Cystoscopy which was used to diagnose IC caused a bladder perforation which required the use of an indwelling catheter for 2 weeks, allowing my bladder to heal. My pain is for the most part nonexistent at this point but the urinary frequency seems to be getting worse.

      Elmiron Too Soon to Tell
      I've been taking Elmiron since January 25, 2007. It's only been 3 months and I've been told that it usually takes 6-8 months to see any real improvement.
