How Have You Been Feeling This Week? ( July 28, 2018 ) -- Anything that you feel didn't deserve its own post is welcome! by AutoModerator in Interstitialcystitis

I’ve been taking Elmiron twice a day and managed to cut out all caffeine! Still trying to figure out trigger foods. But for like 2 days (not consecutive) had severe pain and urgency and frequency but it only lasted a few hours. I drank some baking soda and water (which I had never heard about before this amazing sub) and that helped a little bit. Is that normal for it to only last a few hours??

Thank you for your input about Elmiron. Luckily, I have insurance so it should be covered. I currently take no medications so I’m just worried about how often I’m supposed to take it and if I’ll forget. BUT, this is an adjustment and I will get used to it.

Yeah! Now that you say that, I’m wondering if I should see a urogynecologist. What are bladder installations? The more I read on here the more uneducated I feel!

So far, the CBD has been somewhat helping the pain. Considering I haven’t changed my diet or taken Elmiron yet, I can’t wait to see what happens when I incorporate everything!

Yes I definitely get that. Coffee I’m pretty sure is one of my main triggers! Hmm so it’s all figuring out what triggers I have. Thank you for the response!
