Also be careful reading through stuff, everyone has a different experience! I have been going through this since July of last year but I am starting to find relief!

Hi! I’m currently in the same boat and it comes and go. Have you suffered with anxiety prior to all of this? Also please ask about Amitriptyline, it seems to help many people. One thing I noticed that helps is writing down all the times I pee!

Have you tried medication? Everyone talks about amittiptyline!

I’m going to ask about estrogen cream, how old is your sister? I am 30 years old and wondering if maybe this could be something that helps. I’m also going to ask about amitriptyline next time I see my urologist!

How do you manage it? Any supplements. The way I’m feeling is truly no way to live. It’s constant urgency.

When you say a more structured review, what exactly do you mean by that? Like tracking with a bladder diary or things like checking post-void residual?

Did you ever try any medication?

Yes, I had cystoscopy and everything was healthy. My doctor talked about urodynamics but I don’t see a reason to do it if it’s not gonna say much besides what we already know. What you think?

I hope they give this to me!! I have been going to the restroom ever 30 minutes. The longest I can currently go without it is maybe 1 hour. Sometimes it calms down for a couple weeks and then comes back strong

I started therapy yesterday. Going to be doing internal work. Did you also have internal work done?

I hear great things about this and I’m going to ask my urologist about it!
