Interstitial Cystitis
"Being diagnosed with IC was a life changer. I got depressed, didn&#039;t want to leave my house unless I would be close to a bathroom. I would have emergencies at work and get awful flares where I had to see me and get a cocktail which only lasted until I peed it out. I have an abnormally small bladder and also urethral structure. I have a severe case of the IC and Elmiron saved my life. I get a moderate flare here and there if I splurge and have a coffee, which use to be my life. I don&#039;t drink alcohol at anymore. Really only water now. Spicy foods give me flares. But on Elmiron they are tolerable and way less frequent. I&#039;m so thankful for this drug as I&#039;ve tried everything else. I always went into retention (which would burn me up) I love this."
