Elmiron was a game-changer for me as it completely alleviated my IC symptoms in just a month. I consider it a wonder drug, and the best part was that I didn’t have to keep taking it. I noticed a significant decrease in my pain within the first fortnight of starting the medication, which was seven years ago. I don’t remember the exact dosage, but it was no more than once or twice daily. Before I started Elmiron, I was in excruciating pain for several months and underwent a diagnostic surgical procedure that revealed multiple sores in my bladder. I believe that Elmiron healed these sores, which in turn eased the pain. Within a year of being diagnosed with IC, I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and I suspect there might be a link between IC and thyroid disease. My IC flares up slightly a few times a year, but cutting out acidic foods from my diet seems to help manage it.
