Bladder issue -- interstitial cystitis?


Posted: Jan 1, 2012

I had a bladder tack in July 2011 and have done very, very well with it, up until about 2 weeks ago.  Since that time I've had almost constant bladder pain (spasms maybe, not sure), and frequent urination, but no burning with urination.  Let me just add that I had this same problem before the bladder tack as well, and it cleared up for a little while after the procedure, but seems to have come back with a vengeance in the last 2 weeks.  I went to the doctor and she ruled out infection but gave Bactrim and Macrobid as she said it could still be infection but just manifesting itself, at this point, without white cells in the blood.  I only know I'm miserable.  I've been taking OTC meds (AZO and Cystex) far too frequently, which were helping with the pain, but now these are beginning to not be of any help.  I'm at my wits end.  I've googled this problem and it appears it is a fairly common problem for women without any "cure" if indeed it is not an infection.  Some suggested topical use of tea tree oil (haven't tried it), some suggested cutting out all caffeine, which I did a long time ago anyway because it definitely flares up the problem.  I drink lots and lots of water.  If anyone can shed any light on this problem or give me some advice I would really, really appreciate it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Bladder IssuesMar 06, 2011
I had a hysterectomy about eleven years ago.  Since that time, I have had a lot of UTI\\\\\\\'s.  I would assume it is because I have a prolapsed bladder or cystocele.  I am seeing a Urologist on Thursday and I was wondering if he was going to recommend a sling procedure.  Has anyone had this done, and are you happy with it?  ...

Bladder Leaking/gushing IssuesJan 08, 2015
I have horrible leakage/gushing problems with my bladder.  I have to wear those long, thick pads all day and night.  It is a horrible problem.  I have been to a urologist and the first time he put me on VESIcare.  It caused significant constipation, and could not take it.  Then he put me on Myrbetriq and flared up my GERD so much that I couldn't breathe and raised my BP.  I am not normally sensitive to medications, so this was all very distressing to me.  ...

Tea Partiers Protest Clean Water Rules Meant To Prevent Bladder CancerNov 12, 2010
These goofy, goofy tea baggers. Let them get bladder cancer. WASHINGTON -- An attempt by a Kentucky water district to raise rates in order to meet clean water regulations has become political, with a local Tea Party organization stepping in and arguing that the county should simply ignore federal rules. The Northern Kentucky Water District is seeking a 25 percent rate increase by January 2012, and according to The Kentucky Enquirer, a major reason for the raise is to comply with U.S. Enviro ...

Its about how vets are dying literally because of the wait. this is NOTHING new and goes back to the Vietnam war, but one good reason I oppose war in general is our RECORD of not taking care of the soldiers who are signed up at too young of an age to know what they are getting into - and often WHY. We should all be outraged over this and express our outrage to our congressmen and women - and ALL administrations who don't make this a priority. ...

Help With Skin Issue, PleaseJul 26, 2011
I've never had this before, but on my forehead and spreading to a small part of my cheek, near my mouth and on one side of my nose I've developed seborrheic keratosis.  My PCP told me to use a very mild cleanser and hydrocortisone cream x3 daily, but it really doesn't seem to be helping much.  The spots get warm to the touch and itchy and are really getting more and more difficult to cover when I have to go out. Has anyone else had this and found something a bit more he ...

Why Does Money Have To Be Such An Issue?Jun 23, 2010
Even when it's not the lack of it, but more the equality in spending it. My DH gets very upset and defensive when I suggest to him that he has a whole lot more money in his checking account than I do in mine, yet I'm paying ALL the household expenses, all the vet bills, and ALL the remodeling expenses on the house. He'll make some lame excuse, and then he closes up, shuts down, and sulks. I have more than enough to live on, but that's not the point. I've decide ...

Romney from 3rd debate transcript on China: "they (China) have to manufacture goods and put people to work and they have about 20,000 -- 20 million, rather, people coming out of the farms every year coming into the cities, needing jobs. So they (China) want the economy to work and the world to be free and open. And so we can be a partner with China. We don't have to be an adversary in any way, shape or form. We can work with them, we can collaborate with them, if they're willing to b ...

Not Sure If This Is A Health Issue But...Nov 12, 2013
I have a bra question. I've recently learned that I have been wearing the wrong size bra for years (who hasn't unfortunately). I was sized at Victoria Secret and am a size 34DDD. I've always worn bigger size bras to fit the cups and had spillage and still had a gap in the band part, no matter the size or style, and now I know why they never fit properly. Well, VS has my size 34DDD (of course) in many styles but they are at least $50 for one bra and way out of my price range, n ...

A Few Observations About The Tax Issue.Oct 03, 2016
The first thing to note is that any business, and especially those that do business in multiple states and even in other countries, operates in landscape of tax obligations, of which the federal income tax is only one element and might even be much less significant than others. Second, "tax" refers to every and any monetary obligation that any and all taxing authorities levy on a business and sometimes certain particular operations that it conducts.  For instance, fees for building permits ...

How About The Issue Of Removing TheMar 28, 2017
Instead of burying those issues with propaganda, how do you feel about the administration getting rid of protections for our environment?  Taking away the funds that help keep the Great Lakes clean?  Keep corporations from polluting our water, air and land? Deflecting to propaganda does not express your views on that.  Do you think the president is right to do these things? ...

Should I Mention About A Possible Medical Issue Or NotDec 27, 2009
Some time back I mentioned to my DIL that her father should get his heart checked out. I noticed he had creases in his earlobes. The reason I mentioned is was for the fact I had a cardiologist who says this over and over in dictations, then when studying further found it could mean heart problems. Well, you would have thought I had tried to kill someone, everyone sprang into action stating there was nothing wrong with him at all. Fast forward a few years, DIL's father just recovering from q ...

Carson Had Better Adress This Issue HimselfSep 21, 2015
Carson, et al. is in "trouble" for stating that a Muslim is not fit for office of the POTUS.    So, the discussion is why the radical actions of a religion should be the judgment for whether a person who ascribes to that faith can exclude that person from holding office as POTUS? How about those evangelicals?  Women's subservience, anti-gay, some are outwardly racist.  Anybody think, maybe, just maybe religion needs to get out of the political process? ...
