I'm 26 and have dealt with IC since Dec 25 2005. I didn't get diagnosed until Nov 06. I hope to bring awareness of this horrible disease to the many people that have not heard of it, and hope to find a cure! <3

I am 22 and I have it too. I have just been diagnosed with it last week. Although it is very painful and my life changed a lot in the last two years, I am finally happy to know what was causing so much pain and I am looking forward to find a cure. I am also looking for people with IC to share experiences about this disease because it helps me to learn more about this. I live in Peru and people have not even heard about this, so I am looking for people with this around the internet.

a horrendous disease, it ruined my life

I was diagnosed with IC in 1992..and yes.. I am the "catheter" lady... This disease is horrible and it affects so much more than just your bladder! So many people don't know what it is like to live with this! I have had about 9 of these cysto's. I have to use Catheters when the bladder won't work..and I self cath to get the meds in...to help with the bledding like this shows about 2;17

Thank you for posting this. I have IC also and this is the only way in which I will get a cystoscopy only under anethsia. Peronally I think the only way it should be done is by hypertestion and under anethsia as this appears to have been done.

Why do you need to have more than one? That's horrible, I couldn't walk for two days after mine, it irritated my bladder so much. I'm a little late, by about 5 months, but good luck should you need a 6th.

I have a weak bladder which runs in my family (women only). I am suffering from cystitis and consulted doctors and urologists trying everything possible.

What helped me the most, and I hope it'll help others, are the following things: #1 is cranberry (frozen/ juice/ capsules), ALOE VERA GEL (Forever Living) gave amazing results!!, lots of fluids, absolutely NO spicy/ salty/ sweet foods and NO coffee. Maintain healthy diet, high hygiene and excercise.

Hope it helps and be healthy!

I suffered from IC for more than three years. Two of those years it was with intense pain and many symptoms, including kidney pain.

Eventually I cured my IC after taking on a diet with NO alcohol, caffeine or any acidic fruits, as well as cutting out all wheat and dairy. But what helped me most was acupuncture. When all the specialists failed to help me I went to an acupuncturist/herbalist and within 6 months of weekly treatments I was 90% cured. With so few options why not try alternative med?

I have Interstitial Cystitis and I didn't have ANY anesthesia for my Cystoscopy. It hurt, but it wasn't unbearable. I have a high pain tolerance, though, and a really good specialist.

I've been suffering for years and now I know what I have. It's not fun. I promise.

I finally just got diagnosed with IC and I've been suffering for the last 15yrs.. they tried Elmiron but I have a horrible reaction to it.. the best thing the OB told me was to find a urogynocologist bc a urologist isnt very much help on this matter.. my insurance doesnt cover that specialist so she has to try and do heprin installments..but i think she may try me on Elavil as long as it doesnt react to my other meds.. this is horrible I also have PCOS n gastroparesis.. all very painful.. grr.

I have had 4 cystoscopes and the first I was NOT under anastisia, and it was SO bad, I screamed and cried, and now I am having my 5th tomorrow, and I am so scared. I have interstitial cysyitis and I am already very sore and have blood in my urine, so please wish me luck and pray.
