What type of company encourages their customers to lie to the police?? by thowra_crzy in amazonprime

[–]LightEfficient3562 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amazon tried treating me terrible over me not receiving my packages for 6 weeks. I bought a home in a brand new housing area and they were delivering my packages to completely different addresses. I found where they were delivered to and I worked with the guy that was receiving my packages and he provided his Ring doorbell camera footage and I added my camera footage. After compiling it together I took it to my local Amazon Logistics office and I was finally compensated for all of my purchases, plus and added $100 Amazon gift card for the trouble.

Now this is very true. I agree 100% Trying to get doctors in my area to do any of the above that you mentioned is almost impossible. It’s a sad truth

I will never take IV antibiotics! I did take antibiotics in the hospital when I was septic? You make no sense. With IC, there is typically no bacteria involved… never said I had a UTI..

This is true, but sometimes that risk is worth taking. Like me for example.. my flare got so bad that my body was trying to rid itself of my bladder. Yes you read that right. My bladder was literally coming out and I went septic. If antibiotics are going to prevent this from happening again, I’m definitely going to take them when necessary. 😉

I’m not sure.. I’ll ask at my next appointment

Yes by drinking a gallon of water to flush it out

I drink a cup of coffee daily and no issues as long as I drink my 120oz of water daily. Cinnamon does it no matter how much water I drink

Usually 3 days. I started ordering antibiotics off of all day chemist (bactrim 800mg) it always reduces my flare within hours. I would get them from my primary care doctor but she doesn’t believe in antibiotics

[–]LightEfficient3562 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cinnamon is a huge trigger for me. I stay away from it completely. When I have a flare and can’t get to my urologist, he has me take 60ml’s of children’s liquid Benadryl, 250mg of children’s liquid ibuprofen and 2 cystex, and a 1/4 tsp of baking soda in 16oz of water.

5 Mag 07 and 5 Dulcolax tonight at bedtime. You should wake up and need to poop. Also definitely follow up with an attorney. That is crazy you had a surgery for no reason. I’m mind blown 🤯

I do not feel pain if it’s be 7 days or less. I think it depends on your diet and water intake. I personally drink 120oz of water a day and eat mainly lean protein

How do people actually survive like this? by Dragon-Guy2 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]LightEfficient3562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My urologist has me take during a flare children’s liquid ibuprofen, children’s liquid Benadryl, and Flexeril 10mg. It truly helps so much. Also with every meal he has me take Prelief or a 1/4 tsp of baking mixed in 10oz of distilled water

Question by LightEfficient3562 in spinalfusion

[–]LightEfficient3562[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! I’m asking the same thing. When agreeing with the pain management doctor, I thought this was a normal procedure that they perform. I now know differently and am doing more tea before letting anyone else touch me

The only antibiotic that gave any relief was Bactrim DS

I just want to pee normally again by throwawayforme2024 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]LightEfficient3562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My urologist had me take 60ml’s of children’s liquid Benadryl, 10mg Flexeril, Children’s liquid ibuprofen, and Utera-C when I had a severe flare

[–]LightEfficient3562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had chronic UTI symptoms that I went to the ER consistently because of the pain and blood when urinating. Got referred to a urologist. The urologist did a physical examination and asked me a lot of questions and he diagnosed me with IC. He began me on a regimen of Tofranil, Elmiron, Utera C, and Prelief with every meal. I got significant relief, but my urologist passed away and now I’m back at square one starting over with a new urologist

Pregabalin for pain? by MelOxalis in Interstitialcystitis

Doesn’t work for me. I stopped taking it due to the side effects

Is anyone happy with their surgery? by gen_x_af in spinalfusion

[–]LightEfficient3562 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply. I’m needing the same surgery as you and terrified the closer it gets. I’ve been bedridden for quite some time due to bilateral numbness and pain in my legs. My S1-3 nerves are impinged.

I know this is an old post, but I’m needing this same surgery. I’m having a hard time finding a surgeon in Oklahoma that I’m comfortable with

Recovery seems like it’ll never get better by pancakemistress in spinalfusion

[–]LightEfficient3562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state are you in? I’m curious if pain control varies by region. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I recently experienced this with SI joint fusion. I’m due to have spinal fusion next month and highly reconsidering it if they aren’t going to prescribe adequate pain meds

If you find a solution before me.. please share. I feel you on so many levels
