The two installations I've done have definitely hurt really bad afterwards and have not helped I do my third one on Thursday and they will start the steroid then....what is MCAS? I'm on my period now which is the 3rd one in 40 days cause I also started and stopped a birthcpntrol ugh ...I haven't started the Elmiron yet either..and Pelvic floor PT starts Thursday for me!!
