I just found out I have IC My life has been bad, the doctor I went to does not listen to me, I am in so much pain,, so much pain,.. I cry my self to sleep, I take now a pm pill just to stay a sleep,, I hate bathrooms, and I can’t do nothing with my kids anymore, I feel alone and lost, My doctor will not listen to me, he just stop seeing me saying there is nothing they can do about it and I have to get over it…

I have changed my eating ways and the only thing that helps is water and baking soda,, I wish there was more, I hate bathrooms now and I can’t even go places with my family anymore,,, I have tried other things but nothing helps,, I read here that there is help and for some reason my doctor wont help no more,, I can’t afford my blue cross anymore, so now I am stuck, with this pain and the knowing at 33 I can’t do nothing anymore, with out a bathroom near me,,, I hate this part of my life, and all of my life should be good, I wonder if any other women have the same problems I do? does your doctor just give up? mine did,,,

  • How I dealt with IC - by Jennifer - (Thu, Sep 18 2008)
    After having IC for 8 years and doing everything that the doc told me to do, and taking all of the pain meds. Which by the way was the only thing that actually did help (which is sad to admit). I finally decided to do something a little out of my ordinary. I decided to try an herbal remedy that was suggested to me. [more..]
