DR. HAS CHANGED MY MEDICATION. START WITH ATARAX(HYDROXYZINE) FROM 25 MGS 2 X DAY TO 50 MGS 2 X DAY. THEN IN 2 WEEKS CHANGE ELAVIL(AMITRPTYLINE) FROM 25 MGS 3-4 NIGHTLY TO 25 MGS 4-6 NIGHTLY. HE SAID STAGGERING THE CHANGE WILL BE BETTER ON MY BLADDER. HE SAID TO KEEP ON MY PAIN MEDS. HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BRING MY PAIN LEVEL DOWN TO A 4 AGAIN. SO FAR CHANGING THE ATARAX, MY BLADDER IS OKAY WITH IT. STILL IN PAIN ON LEVEL 6. I WISH IT WOULD COME BACK DOWN. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO WORK. I'M STILL ON ELMIRON 100 MG 3 X DAY. I PRAY DAILY, MY SISTER'S PRAY WITH ME, & I KNOW GOD IS WITH ME DAILY. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, HE WILL START THE CHLORPACTIN TREATMENTS. :pray: LORD GIVE US ALL THE STRENGTH, TO GET THROUGH OUR DAILY STRUGGLES WITH IC. BRING THE PEACE WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO HAVE.:pray: AMEN. I KNOW I WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS TOUGH TIME, THIS ESKIMO ISN'T GIVING UP.:angel:
