@chutch, thank you for response. It was very helpful. I will use the list of medications you mention when I go to my urogynocologist on Friday for discussion points. I watched a You-Tube educational video of a presentation given by a doctor to a group of doctors on BPS/IC. One of the medications was amitriptyline. I had 10mg tablets in my medicine cabinet prescribed by my diabetes doctor for neuropathy pain, and in an effort to find some comfort, I started taking one each night as prescribed. It has decreased the pain a lot. I can walk without thinking about it. I'm guessing that without a level of pain, I will not be as tuned into actual UTI's. I still have constant burning, but I can deal with that. I also started D-Mannose. I will also buy a couple gallons of the Akaline water.

What is a bladder installation?

Hi Lucy-
Bladder installations are the only FDA-approved way to treat IC. Mine are a mixture of a former industrial solvent and two other things that I can’t recall. The solvent just stands out in my mind.
