Radiation Cystitis: How long does it take for the burning to go away?

I had 5 treatments on Radixact. For almost three weeks it felt like I was peeing burning hot coals, but mostly at night. For the last 3 days it seems that both the urinary and bowel symptoms are lessening. Oncologist had me on decreasing dose prednisone which was making me get up 8-10 times per night, but I think it helped a bit with the pain.. Hopefully that will lessen as well. Symptoms were definitely worse if I had to hold my urine to get to a bathroom.

Many of us in this forum have been on prednisone because it is required if you’re taking Zytiga. I was on it for 2 1/2 years and never had a problem With it keeping me up at night. Cutting back on prednisone can cause really serious fatigue problems, Seemingly the opposite of what you’re having happen. When I cut back after quitting Ortega, I would really get tired in the afternoon. Sleeping too long in the day/afternoon can cause you to have serious problems sleeping at night.
I would be interested in hearing from others if they’ve had this problem.
How many milligrams are you taking now?
