No DMSO for me...yet!!

[NTHottie14]

Well i saw the uro today and i talked to her and said i wanted to try all the other instillations before the DMSO. TO me DMSO is a last resort for instillations. So she did a steriod and lidocane instillation. Then 1/2 hour later u have to pee it out and of course i couldnt go so i had to go back to her and she had to catherize me again to take it out!! only after instillations i cant pee. So im in tons of pain. especailly burning!!! Just keep the prayers coming.. i really need them!!!!!
Thannks...

Hi Laura,
My dr. recommended DMSO instills and I got too scared to try them. Instead I am on Elavil and it is helping tremendously! Wish someone would have given me that option five years ago. I will pray for you and wish you the best of luck with your instills! Amy

if your uro recommends Chlorpactin - I'd be VERY hesitant to do it. It is the worst of all the instills out there and it burns. DMSO burns much less than any of the other instills I think (I've had silver nitrate, chlorpactin, DMSO, heparine, marcaine, lidocaine) but then again, none of them worked for me and all of them burned :( But chlorpactin was the absolute worst!

Good luck with them, I pray you get some relief!

I certainly would not put a steroid on the top of the list of which instill to try first either.
DMSO burns much less than any of the other instills I think (I've had silver nitrate, chlorpactin, DMSO, heparine, marcaine, lidocaine) From talking to others I would say that is a very unique experience....heparin, marcaine, lidocaine all are normally soothing. Not burning at all. :grouphug:
