I have noticed a minor improvement in my health :)
As you can see in the last post I made in this section, the 30mg of Ditropan XL was giving me dry mouth. About a week ago, I switched from Ditropan to 4mg of Detrol. Now, my dry mouth is gone. I'm still stuck in The Flare From Hell, but any bit of improvement in my health is greatly appriciated right now. :dance:

Hooray! Glad you found something that is working for you! I tried the Ditropan XL, but it made my mouth feel furry (and gave it a nasty white coating -NOT attractive at all). I use the regular Ditropan (5mg) every night & occasionally during the day if I'm in a bad flare & I don't get those icky side effects.

Hi Green! Glad to hear you are having some improvement! Did you get on Elmiron yet?

Yeah, I'm on Elmiron. I've been taking it 3x a day for the past 8 days. I can't tell if my IC is getting better yet. I think it is, but verrry slowly.
