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.

Where I've Been

This is a brief update. My IC returned twice since I hit remission. I am currently fighting it off again. I am now fairly privacy minded unlike before (future employers Googling me.. I don't want them to know I have a disability, ect.), so I'm afraid this is a very brief update.

I have moved on from this blog to /r/interstitialcystitis on Reddit. It's not a blog, but rather a sort of social media. All of the useful tidbits for ICers are posted in the sidebar there.. mine here seem to be very outdated.
