Hi, I just have a quick question. I'm waiting to see Dr. B in April and I'm not currently taking any medications. I'm also on list one of the diet and have been on it a few weeks (except I'm including avocados and the odd cashews/almonds!). I've been having a lot of spasms in my bladder thought the last few days and it's feeling now like my whole pelvic floor is in spasms! Heat seems to help but I can't be taking showers or using a hot water bottle all day! I know Dr. B is very against benzodiazepines, which is what I would have taken before to relax the muscles, but what about a bladder antispasmodic like ditropan or vesicare? Is it really harmful of I take the odd one while waiting to see her??
Hi Megan,
Hi Megan,
I haven't been in treatment that long, but I use to have bladder/pelvic floor spasms too...urggg. I would try to avoid drugs at any cost...it's just going to be that much harder on your bladder in the long run. Also I know Vesicare doesn't work like that...I was prescibed that too...Vesicare has to be in your system for a couple of months before it starts to work...
Sorry not much help, but I would definitely try and stick to List 1 as much as possible and drink tons of water! It will get better, I promise :) Hang in there!
