AUDIOTAPES are great resources for patients, particularly if they are struggling with pain care, sleep, fears, stress, etc. These tapes by Potentials Unlimited, feature the gentle, soothing and oh so helpful voice of Barrie Konicov. Worry - if you only could turn it off. Your thoughts keep racing. Your mind is in the future. You spend your time creating dazzling and confusing games with options, decisions, and "what if’s." Worry is unproductive, unnecessary and totally useless. Most of what you worry about does not ever happen; but knowing that sometimes does not help. This recording can teach you how to turn your mind to peaceful, harmonious thoughts
One of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing the pain and discomfort of IC is to use a heating pad. From microwaveable pads to the standby electric pad, chronic pelvic pain patients have used heat effectively for years. But we've found a new pad that can be worn all day, is very affordable (aka cheap!) and works great! BODIHEAT HEATINGS PADS were first developed for cold weather climates! These pads are very thin, light and can be placed directly on underwear or undergarments. They 'stick' all day via the adhesive on the back side! These pads deliver steady heat for up to 12 hours and easily last the work day or longer!
One of the great frustrations of having pelvic pain disorders is that sitting can be excruciatingly uncomfortable. These special CUSHIONS can definitely help. The first was made especially for patients with broken tail bones and, it turns out, it's perfect for us! VERY popular.
One of the hardest parts of the CPPS diet is avoiding those foods that are high in acid. But, if you're addicted to coffee, this can be really hard to stop. Luckily, a few companies are now making low acid coffees that can be much more bladder friendly. A good brand is Euromild LOW ACID GROUND COFFEE. Please note that patients in flares, or with intense symptoms, should not be using ANY coffees until their symptoms improve.
