CharAnn,
Hi, my name is Rowena. I am 54 years old and have had IC for 8 years. Mine has been classified as end stage with nothing left to do but remove the bladder by one very respectable urologist.

I was afraid of that step and have seen three pain mgt. drs. and one gave me a 2 bottle sample of Algonot. I started out with 2 pills twice daily and I stopped taking Elmiron since I had been on it for three years with not real pain relief or any other kind of relief. I wanted to give the Algonot a chance. So I went whole hog. lol

After three weeks, I could tell my pain level was much relieved and after four weeks I was totally amazed at the releif I had. I still have a very small bladder and do not know if it will ever get any larger, but I am committed to Algonot and hoping it does everyone else who takes it as well as it did me. I've been like this now for about three months and my life is worth living again.

Hoping you get some real relief,
Rowena

Hi, sweetie, I am so happy for you! I have also ordered a three-month supply of Algonot 5 in one, and I have been only taking two pills per day because I've been on a very high dose of Elmiron so far, but my latest labs show my liver enzymes higher than they should be so I have a feeling I won't be taking Elmiron much longer. Then I will be able to take the whole dose of Algonot, and I am looking forward to relief.

I am hoping for the same relief you are getting! :) God willing this will help you, me, and many many other IC'ers.

Blessings, Lori

i hope your bladder does get larger some day. i had a very small bladder capacity before. Thank god my bladder capacity is increasing. I think the change in my diet increased it. I'm glad you are no longer in pain. Well take care god bless!
