I Cher, I too was diagnose with IC in 2008. It
is a tricky disease that one. Have you had any surgeries that would account
for the pain? Did you try Hydroxyzine by any chance. I'm sorry you have to deal with this and there is no easy answer. Do you have ulcers in your bladder, have you tried instillations? I personnaly have not used elmiron or instillations because my URO doesn't believe in them, so curious if you have tried them.
