I was diagnosed with IC by a pelvic pain specialist and she gave me a HUGE amount of things to try. I have a mixture of natural, herbal and prescription. I would be more than happy to share what she gave me. Most of the stuff I never saw on the internet through my research. The information she gave me is several pages, so it would be difficult to put into a post. The meds she prescribed me were; Atarax, Desipramine, NSAIDS (over the counter–max dosages, and vaginal Valium (to relax the pelvic floor). The Atarax helped me the most, but I needed almost everything she suggested to get the pain under control. I suffered for 4 months in excruciating pain and had no idea what was wrong. I couldn’t find a doctor who knew either. Finally I was referred to Dr. Ellis who knew what it was and was able to help me. I see her as a genius and an angel. I know the pain associated with IC and I don’t want to see anyone else suffer like I did and not help. I am more than happy to share my list if anyone is interested.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
