Hi kelly, I was diagnosed with I.C. in Dec. of 99. It is no picnic is it.I haven't gone on any drugs yet.I was offered Elmiron& DMSO Cocktail but for me I need the statistics to be hirer. I use Prelief when I know that I will be eating acidic foods. I have a low Progesterone level so I take Progonol( from a naturalpath) this helps with swelling.I also use Horsetail for the I.C. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.Stress for me has a lot to do with it and right now I'm under a lot so my bladder is raging.I also believe that changing my diet helps.I almost forgot I am pretty sure that I have vulvodynia with it.This makes for a lot of burning in the lower extremities. This bothers me more that the I.C. Good luck to you and feel free to e-mail me if you'd like. Susan
