Dealing with a new health problem

[bellbrookguy]

I was diagnosed back right after Thanksgiving. I am taking vestaril, urimax and flomax. My major complaint is in the am, I have a lot of urgency, riding in a car. How to deal with that I do not know. Any suggestions out there. Also ,what is the best pain medication for short term use.

First of all, I'd like to welcome you to the IC Network boards. I know you'll find a lot of information and support here.

My first suggestion to you is to read the information in the Patient Handbook --- it's on the pull-down menu at the top of this page. The handbook contains information on various treatment options.

With our disease there are so many differences in how we respond to medications that what works well for me would not necessarily have any effect at all on you.

Sending a welcoming hug,
Donna
