| Re: Going In Circles With My Urinary Tract Pain,Spasm
I was diagnosed with IC last August & I have to tell you that the diagnosis did nothing to help other than tell me what was the problem. Your story sounds just like mine. There is no cure or anything to really relieve it other than diet (eliminating caffeine, spicy foods, soda, anything with potassium, etc.... of course all the stuff I love!). I just started Elmiron, which apparently is the ONLY medication to help IC. The urologist said they have no idea how it works...thats comforting. Any way I am desperate too as I am so frustrated with living this way. Best of luck to you!!! Ill let you know how the Elmiron works....takes about 3-6 months to take effect. Jen
