Bendroflumethiazide causing interstitial cystitis

I have been on Losartan and Bendroflumethaizide for years. Had endiometriosis prior to a full hysterectomy in 1999. In the last 6 years or so I have had painful recurrent and bloody bouts of interstitial cystitis... I take sodium citrate to subdue the bouts but am sick and fed up wetting myself and always have to change my lower garments. I get very little warning of any of this and can only just ever manage to get to the loo...

I looked up a few articles the other day and decided I needed to stop taking the bendro as it was causing the cystitis...

My intention is to talk to my GP at some point this week and keep an eye on my BP. I have a monitor...

I also have parkinson's and walking is not easy...

This is the second day without the diuretic, my BP was 136/84 yesterday, not too bad for a 75 year old...

Comments welcome...
