I have been on Elmiron for almost 3 weeks now and, thankfully, I have had no negative side effects. At first I thought that it was causing me to be easily agitated, but then I realized that that was just happening because of other non-IC related stuff. It's hard to tell if it's actually doing anything, but I'll know more probably in a couple of months.
My husband asked me right after I started taking Elmiron "If this works, you're healed completely and can eat whatever you want. What would be the first meal you would eat?" I thought about it for all of five seconds and said "A brat topped with mustard, green peppers and onions, a side of sauerkraut and pasta salad." :) He laughed and I got hungry. Just thinking about having all of those things at one time and not having any ill side effects from it? That would be HEAVEN!! (How sad my little dreams are.) And now in thinking of that I would probably add on a chocolate shake or a huge glass of pop. (Again pitiful dreams.)
So, so far so good as far as my new medication goes. Which I'm very thankful for. I know that not everybody is so lucky when it comes to this medication or any other one they might be on. I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season. May the new year bring new answers for us and IC in general. :)
