What is Interstitial Cystitis?

What is Interstitial Cystitis?


Interstitial Cystitis is the worst bladder infection you've ever had, except no bacteria is present, there is no cure, many foods make it worse, and separate treatments have maybe 1/3 of a chance of helping. The only true "treatment" is treating the pain, as its usually the only thing that will work. Even patients who've had their bladders removed still experience the pain. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it but have many theories.



Need to find a doctor in your area who actually knows how to deal with IC humanely? Click here.

These are the new guidelines for diagnosing IC. If your doctor isn't using these then I suggest you find a new one who keeps up to date.

You can find the IC safe collaborated recipes between me and my step dad here.

Good things come to an end

Had a massive flare today as the air grew chill once again. Thankfully I have the weekend off to deal with it.. or do I? College students don't have days off because we always have to read or some such on days without class. And since I'm the proclaimed "house bitch" (a term of humor used amongst me and my friends for whoever doesn't work and does the house work) that adds on.

There's another blog post I need to write about the doctor is always right mentality.. have some stories.

I encourage open discussion. There is a lot for us to learn from each other.
