I need help, I have been diagnosed with interstistial cystitis?!


Question:
I have just been diagnosed with this very painful and in my case debilitating disease. I do not know much about it, is there anyone who has this disease and if you do, how do you cope?
Answers:
I have IC. My worst symptom was frequentcyand urgentcy. My doctor gave me several treatments of a "bladder cocktail" it's a mixture of lidocaine and a few other things . It coats your bladder {something similar to pepto bismo for your stomach} I think the medical term is "DMSO or DSMO" instillation and it was a miracle for me i've suffered with this for 5 years and was just recently diagnosed. My ob/gyn really helped me with this . It was instant relief! Please check into this procedure , I hope it helps you as well.

I have IC. There are two great websites you can look at.
www.ichelp.com and www.ic-network.com. The first website is a non-profit org that can answer all your questions and help you find drs and suppost groups. The second website- ICN- is an on line support group with message boards and contains tons of info and patients personal experiences.

There are a lot of different treatments for IC so don't give up if the first one fails. Get a great urologist that takes care of you and your symptoms. I have been through a vairty of treatments and some do work better than others, and some are torture. The first thing you can do for yourself is to go on the IC diet. Both websites explain it. It takes 8 to 10 weeks after you start it to feel any difference.
