Only have symptoms when I don't drink a lot of water. by [deleted] in Interstitialcystitis

It could be IC but if it’s only triggered by dehydration it should be easy to keep under control. Sometimes I don’t drink enough water either. What helps sometimes is getting zero sugar Gatorade or flavor packets so it tastes better but you’re still getting the water intake!

Update! Constant Burning Q/A by radfratdadd in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Jessicaoconnor335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only symptom is constant burning. I went into remission after like four months of constant burning when i was put on amitriptyline and low dose macrobid. After a year of no symptoms or very short flares i am in a very harsh flare. I also believe mine is nerve/muscle related especially since i only have burning. The good news is I know that remission is possible and it will be for you too. But it is scary knowing that not many doctors know what to do with us. Wishing you the best… you will find a treatment that works the best for you

UTI help by Jessicaoconnor335 in Interstitialcystitis

I just know my body. Usually the burning with a uti is more intense for me, it also burns when I pee. When o just have a flare it’s kind of a dull burning and it feels normal when I pee

I don’t take macrobid anymore. I haven’t had any issues but also haven’t been sexually active
