interstitial cystitis
"I've only been on Elmiron for 7 weeks. But I did notice a decrease in symptoms (pain is my only real symptom) by week 3. Now I am in week 7 and I am almost pain free most of the time. I don't stray too far from the diet yet but I do notice I can get away with more foods. I'd give it a 10/10 but I'm not sure how it will work in the future. Doctors say that the sooner you start taking it after symptoms present and the more mild your disease the faster it works and the more beneficial it is. My Interstitial Cystitis was considered mild and I was diagnosed within 1 month of symptom onset. I hope it continues to work. I take 400 mg a day."
