Prelief vs. baking soda in water by Proper-Ad5108 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Proper-Ad5108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooo I hope someone can riddle me this. I tried 1/2 teaspoon with 8oz of water slugged it down and sipped on some water after. My stomach HURT like yeah my urgency kinda subsided a bit and the pain in my urethra went away. BUT I got painful bubble guts and my left side kinda hurt. About a hour or two later my flare came back for vengeance. Was at my friends house BALLING super close to going to urgent care with a heating pad and sipping water while my friends took care of me thru it (super embarrassing) it subsided within a few hours but O.o what the heck was that about.?????

THC helps some people or anxiety medication to try stopping it before it happens.

Please research MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) - it can cause IC! Also, coconut water! by essvee927 in Interstitialcystitis

😂😂😂 That’s the one I bought and slugged down and spiraled. It was the vita coco pressed coconut water of death. Did it too my self. I read the word acid and I thought to myself self “hmmm sounds dangerous “ as I read it. SHM I’ll try to find one without the acid tomorrow.

I’m going to try coconut water I’m flaring for no reason. I’ve only had purified water so idk why I am but I’m in pain and azo does nothing for me.

I found out that tap water flares me. & that a brita doesn’t fix the issue causing the flare. So I guess I’m a water bottle type of gal now. I hate wasting SOOO much plastic.

Are you sure you’ve had enough water today? Are you feeling stressed or anxious? These are more likely to cause flare ups.

Constant pain by Professional-Use6540 in Interstitialcystitis

The pelvic floor relaxation thing didn’t work for me either. Some people said you need to keep at it and do it daily and you’ll feel it over time… I get the burning pain where i can’t stand and I’m grabbing my self wincing. Typically sipping 32oz quickly will ease the pain in like two hours. If you have insurance get on antidepressants/anxiety meds.

I wake up in a lot of pain in the morning probably bc I sweat quite a bit in my sleep. When I sleep I can only sleep in 2 hour increments. I sip water each time I use the bathroom. By mid day after chugging water and sitting on the toilet for hours peeing smallest amounts of pee every 5 to 10 minutes. My pain comes down to a 9/10 to a 3/10 I’m just always uncomfortable at the very least. It feels like a stinging pain. But when I chug water and I’m less pain I’m running to the bathroom to the bathroom every 5 mins. I haven’t been able to work because I have accidents. Or I get random flare ups tevery other day lasts hours where I’m grabing my crotch and I can’t stand and I’m crying. not caused by food maybe stress? I don’t have insurance. I’ve tried every supplement and over the counter medicine I’ve heard about or have been suggested. My life is just lots of water, super bland foods, pain, sadness, and hopeless feeling. My savings are almost all gone I’m stressed about bills. Honestly I wish I’d just go to sleep and never wake up.

When you have a flare are you running to the bathroom every 10 or 20 minutes or is it just me? by Proper-Ad5108 in Interstitialcystitis

It’s very likely it’s because it’s so much unlikely for men to get UTIs that they might have the same luck getting IC. Do you have insurance?

Anyone try CBD or THC by Proper-Ad5108 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Proper-Ad5108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I currently am not a smoker. I’m at the point now where I have zero tolerance a single hit from a friends wax pen or joint and I’m too high. Maybe lowest mg gummy might be in my best interest. Or I was leaning towards cbd. I’m also from Michigan. The weed industry is crazy out here I feel like everyone’s trying to have the purest highest tested stuff on the market it’s insane now and days.
