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.

Nachos are good mmkay? Colds fronts are bad mmkay?

Had nachos for the first time in 4 years yesterday. Only unsafe ingredient was salt. Today I'm in spasms, not because of the food, but because it's Louisiana. This is what the weather said:

"Hey, it's spring! Look at the redbirds and blue birds and how warm it is!"

Then today:

"lol I lied, its winter again. Oh I'm dropping to 40 tomorrow, hope you don't mind"

Moral? Don't live along the gulf if you have Pelvic Floor Dysfunction affected by the air pressure.
