Ok, hi all.
Went to dr today for followup. I brought a ton of research from web. When I got there my bp was 144/80 :( and I was burning big time. I had gained 10 lbs since OCT :( I showed him an article about IC 'tummy', he is not convinced on that. But, really, i just bloat up about 2 hours after waking. He did like the TENS machine idea, so I went and got more stickies! I did not take pyridium plus last nite so he could see if I had a UTI. I did not. Sweet guy, was upset that I hurt again. We are now trying Urispaz instead of pyridium plus and then will see if I need the Lidocaine later on. This is not something I can do on my own, or, I could but it would be difficult to put in urethra. :( ALSO trying Tagamet at nite for burning and nocturia. Thanks for the concern y'all! Cyndi

Cyndi,
I'm glad you have such a sweet uro that is willing to work with you. Good luck as you figure out what works and let me know if you need anything.

Hugs,
Barb :grouphug:
