i have just returned from my long awaited appointment with my new urologist and she has told me that the term trigonitis is no longer used (in Australia at least) but my condition is interstitual cystitis (IC) and have had hunner ulcers. she has prescribed low dose Macrodantin (antibiotic) for a few months and Endep which is also used as an antidepressant but is useful in helping with frequency etc. and some patches which is used for calming the bladder spasams down (forget the name sorry). I have only taken the macrodantin so far and i had to increase the dose for a few days as i got an infection from the cystoscope.i am a bit worried about taking the Endep quite frankly as i had these prescribed to me many years ago for post natal depression and they firstly knocked me out for a week and then i felt sucicidal. i dont want to go there. i would rather go to the toilet many times a day as long as (like you ) i am not in pain.
by the way my reumatologist just diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and guess what, IC is one of the things that are on the (very long) symptom list so i wonder how many of you girls out there have fibromyalgia as well.
hope this note finds you well
