I am in the worst flare EVER for my IC. Two weeks long and pain level at an 8. I am going to take Hydrocodone tonight. I can't take it. Is that the worst decision ever? At this point, I really don't care. I need relief. But I wondered if anyone had an insight??

Hi Melinda,

A little over a year ago I got a horrific UTI.  I tried to hang in and let the herbs work but the pain was SO horrific.  I ended up taking codeine for several days - Matia knowing.  In all honesty - I wish I'd taken the damn things sooner.  I hope that you're feeling better.  You will come out the other side of this.

Take Care,

Denise

Hi Melinda, I hope you are feeling better. I had this happen to me in my first year as well. It was such intense pain for three weeks. I had made a homemade salve that to me seemed rather insignificant, at the time, but after a couple days of using it the intense 3 week flare began. I never did that again for sure, and I have not had another flare in my three year treatment. I pray you find relief soon!
