I need some advice on icn. I have been having problems for a few years now. I usually have a bladder treatment, but this time nothing is helping. I am taking urised and just started on bactrin. Any advice.
Thanks

:welcome: to the ICN!!
http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-Interstitial-Cystitis.asp this is a list of treatments rated by patients. My best advise is the diet! You will find it in the handbook. What are your worse symptoms? Feel free to Private Message Me if you need to.
http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/ this is an essential link for everyone with IC. It is very informative on meds, living with IC, and self help....take a look!!!

http://www.ic-network.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7562 this is thread of pain relief the second page has attachments I believe the last attachment is the list of pain relief ideas.

I kind of a newbie too. I've learned so much in the short time I've been here, you couldn't have signed up on a more informative, caring, message board. :welcome:

Everyone here is very informed and proactive on IC so feel assure that you are in good hands!
