With a little preparation ahead of time, you can make much better use of your doctors time and knowledge.
i just want norcor 10mg it helps with IC pain as well as my Fibromyalgia. After 23 years of this i don't believe that's asking to much, but i feel as though have to beg for it. What is pain meds used for? pain. I take one 5mg a day now and it helps but just one more boost would be great. i go this friday to see if i can get an icrease. fingers are crossed. Just want to live anormal life.............

Hello Jill my symptoms started Nov 7th 2009 and I am going to my third urologist May 24th 2010. I am on elmiron and the symptoms have decreased by I still get major flares :( What other medications can you tell me about to ask the urologist about. I think my interstital cystitis was either caused by doxycylcline antibiotic burning my bladder lining, allergies or my high acidic diet prior.

Thank you for this video. I have a very unsympathetic Nurse Practitioner who does not listen, interrupts me, and talks over me. My second appointment is on Friday and I am at my wits end wondering how to talk to her so that she understands the incredible pain that I live in every single second of every single day.
