urniation and catheter problems
Published (2009-11-23 02:51:00)
That sounds so painful. After my hysterectomy/cystocyle and rectocele(I had a prolapse) in 1975 I had a catheter in for five days and then they took it out and I could not pee. I walked,submerged myself in a hot tub of water and anything that was suggested I tried. They did not come to put the catheter back in until 10PM.They had taken it out at 6AM!! From 7Pm on I called for them to put it back in,my husband went to the desk twice to ask for...

It sounds like you are on the right track to begin feeling better. If you absolutely can't give up that one cup of coffee, you might try one of the low acid brands of coffee. There are some available in the ICN Shop. I can have one cup of low acid coffee in the morning and I really enjoy it. Sending healing thoughts, Donna

My IC can make my retum area very sore. Right now everything down there is inflamed. I call it my baboon butt(LOL). But everything down there is so close together, I think just IC can do that! It feels like my bladder is laying on my colon giving me spasms. hugs and blessings

Pelvic Tilt exercises
Published (2009-11-23 15:21:00)
My doctor just gave me two pelvic tilt exercises to do...has anyone had any luck with these? For the first one you lay on your back and push your lower back to the floor. For the second one you rotate your hips on an exercise ball. I'm hoping it helps with my frequency...when I sit in class all day I have to go much more than I do any other time.

Are you a smoker?
Published (2009-11-19 12:55:00)
My mom started smoking when she was 13 years old. I can remember taking vacations and having to breath e in the smoke all day long in the car. Of course she smoked when she was pregnant with all of us also, since the docs didn't know enough to discourage it. I have felt for a long time that my allergies, asthma, GERD, and possibly my IC are connected to that early, heavy exposure to "second-hand" smoke. The insane thing...

Are there dyes in the medication? That can sometimes provoke a flare. I don't have any experience with morphine & I'm allergic to percocet so I can't speak to that, but I have had trouble with dyes in medicines bothering my bladder.

I think it just depends on the doctor and the patient's symptoms. I think some do offer them right off the bat to jump start the Elmiron and to give some symptom relief from the marcaine or lidocaine. I'm talking about rescue instills, not DMSO. My doctor didn't mention them, so a few months after being diagnosed I requested a round. I did one a week for six weeks. It did numb the bladder ...

I just ended a very heavy period and forgot to take my preventative dose of Cipro. I was fine the day before, but yesterday I began to get that awful feeling where you want to jump out of your skin.

Is the elmiron keeping your symptoms under control? Sometimes we have to make some difficult decisions. I have heard, but don't have any confirmation at all, that taking a break from the elmiron helped some people. I also know several people who stopped taking it due to hair loss. I had a different side effect (headache) and had to stop taking it. Donna

This is yet another lesson on why it's important to read labels. I drink tap water at home because we have a deep well and an ultraviolet filter in the pump house, but clorinated water is a problem for me so I do buy bottled water when we're away from home. I do read labels and only buy bottled spring water with no additives. Donna

hydroxyzine did make me crave sugar... but as I would take it 30 min before bed, I'd just drink some herbal tea (blueberry is my fav), then brush my teeth and go to bed. I've heard 5 HTP helps w/ food cravings, but you want to talk to a dr or nutritionalist before taking it -I'm not a dr or anything.

Have you tried the bioidentical hormone cream or gel to see if it irritates you. I understand you can also get it in a water based gel that is non allergic. I tried the cream & made it 2 days without a migraine. It seemed to help my bladder in that length of time but I won't be able to take it anymore. I wasn't aware there was a vaginal pill.
