Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Anne, I thought about writing this to you in response to your first email, but I figured that others who knew more about this would respond to you. If they haven't, then maybe I'm way off base. But whenever I hear someone talk about urination/bladder problems, I think of interstitial cystitis. Since I don't know much more about it than its name, I'll leave it to you to do some research in our archives or on the web, or maybe someone else can explain it to you. But it might be a diagnosis you want to look into..... -- V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only explain the urge to urinate; it wouldn't explain anything else. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 << I have been trying the sitz bath like some people here suggested and it isn't working. If I had a copy of my original first post, I'd re-post it. I feel ignored. >> Hi Anne, I am so sorry if it seemed you may have been ignored. I do have a sugestion, but not sure if you tried this yet. Have you tried using ice packs, but wrapped so the cold isn't too servere. It is the best thing I have found to help inflamation. Inflamation can cause itching, burning, swelling and discomfort of pain. Also A & D Personal Products are a big help for healing and skin protection. There are towelett wipes and also a cream that can be applied as much as needed. It helps with urine odor as well as protect skin from urine and promotes healing. Ask a pharmacy if they carry all of the A & D Personal Care Products, if they are not in stock, they will order it for you. I had to ask the pharmacy to order it and it arrived the next day. Let me know if there is anything I can further suggest, I would be more than happy to pull some other options if these do not work. I am sure that it will help tremendusly, but you may need to continue this treatment for a while. This should give some pain relief for you using ice. Keep intouch and let me know how you are doing, my thoughts are with you as pain is unfair to have there and we will get you through this.

If you are having bladder problems, DO NOT HESITATE GOING TO A UROLOGIST TO GET THE TESTS DONE TO DETERMINE IF IC MAY BE CAUSING YOUR PROBLEMS. This is serouis and your bladder can be damaged with no reversal of the damage if going untreated. Email me if you want information on this. I will give all the information I have. I never heard of IC until diagnosed so don't be shy not knowing about this disease. I am doing much better taking prescription medication for it. The sugestions I sent you earlier will help you because I was told by my Urologist to buy the A & D Personal Care Products. And the ice was what I used for pain before being diagnosed. I am on Elmiron which is the only oral drug for this disease. I will help you with what I can, let me know how your doing. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Good morning.... Just wanted to comment on your excerpt: << That would only explain the urge to urinate; it wouldn't explain anything else. >> In the past when I have had urgency/frequency I've usually tested positive for a urinary tract infection. For some reason, I am very susceptible to developing them. I get 2-3 a year...which usually means antibiotics which usually means...of course...oral yeast infections (thrush) and/or vaginal yeast or both for me. Maybe you should look into the possibility of a UTI. Good luck. Hugs, Carla ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 I've already been checked for that; I don't have a UTI. >Good morning.... > >Just wanted to comment on your excerpt: > ><< That would only explain the urge to urinate; it wouldn't explain >anything > else. >> > >In the past when I have had urgency/frequency I've usually tested positive >for a urinary tract infection.
