Mybetriq helped for 2 weeks…
Okay so I started myrbetriq around 3 weeks ago, when my urologist decided I had OAB and not the previously thought IC.
After 4 it 5 days on Mybetriq I was feeling amazing. My urgency issues were gone and I was using the bathroom on a normal persons schedule.
Fast forward to last night. I started - out of no where - having some urgency/frequency again. I’m still having some issues today, along with just starting some weird cramping feeling around the bladder area.
Should I be concerned? Does OAB have flares that come and go?
**Im probably stressing about this more than I should,but I had a good couple of weeks snd I was overjoyed that I might have my life back!!

In my opinion, find out if particular food does this flare to you. I do get flare when I consume dairy. Processed cheese is ok but any other dairy doesn’t suit me.
Thank you!! Noticed that I drank milk yesterday and used the bathroom 4 TIMES at night
Thank you! I wasn’t sure if OAB, had flares. Now I know. I guess I’m back to keeping a food journal
Did you figure this out with a food journal, elimination diet, or even an app? I'm working through finding out where my flares are coming from, and I'm having a hard time finding a system that works with me.
Elimination diet. By focusing on general irritants and removing or adding them helped me to find out. Dairy, caffeine, sugar, soda etc are general irritants.
