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.

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.

Losing the job market and depression.

It's not just pain that can lead to depression, as everyone knows. The feeling of helplessness when no one will hire you can destroy a sense of self confidence. I only keep mine because I am a brutal activist for patients and women's rights. I care less for myself than others. I'm trying to find a job so hard right now. My boyfriend can't find any upward mobility. I was so eager, I was certain Petco or Petsmart would take me due to my experience with rehabilitating wildlife, but all companies want these days are experience and not degrees, know-how, or intelligence. I can't start at a fast paced place like a fast food restaurant. Wal-Mart has destroyed all our small town operated retailers.. and that store hurts my eyes alone not to mention everything else. My brother is manager of the only lumber and house supply store in the area, so can't even try there. Libraries are filled.. I keep telling my boyfriend we need to move. This town and state is toxic.
