Can anyone explain why I don't seem to suffer with the bladder issues of continually having to go to the loo....It's such a wierd disease. Also, I saw someone mention the other day that she was off the Macrodantin mostly but was using something called biotic silver or something. the closest I could find was Colloidal silver which I'd seen before. Anyone have any comments on that particular miracle cure :o)?

I am newly dx and really did not think I had it because I do not go to the powder room a lot, but once I got dx and changed my diet and started my 1st doe of bladder spasm meds so much of my pain left I could not deny it. I also have a tumor and sciatica on the right side and at 1st could not tell the difference between the pains but now I can. The only thing my doc said was to eat what I am suppose to and take the meds, he wants my bladder healed before I try to introduce more foods to see if I can tolerate them. My daughter also has it but her pain is not as bad as my pain is and I pray it will never be that bad.

Well 1st I have had IC for 25 years. They put me on strict diet, drink Evian water only and a b6 supplement called Pyridoxal 5 phosphate made by ecological formulas. all natural. I have had NO symptoms for 25 years unless I break the rules.I have heard of the collidal silver but it didn't help my friend. Good luck getting this under control.

Everyone is different. I use Rainforest Treasure tea which is very bladder friendly. I have gotten to the point where my IC is managed holistically and do not use the medications anymore. I researched alternatives for months and used trial and error. It's not quack cures, some people educate themselves and try different things. Just raising the PH of your water can help.

I too have all the symptoms of IC but without frequency. For this reason, the urologist refused to examine me and I did not get a diagnosis.
From what I can remember.. I USED to have problems with urinary frequency back when this whole issue started. But one day, while walking through a mall, I had to go again and I got so mad that I just squeezed the heck out of all my pelvic muscles like my life depended on it. I squeezed and held until I felt I could hold it and stuff "shifted" inside me; but ever since then I've lost urinary sensation and instead know it's time to go when I feel cramps up my back where my kidneys are, all over my rib cage and also along my hip bone in the front... am I on the right track as anyone else? Also I feel like I have rot gut when that time of the month comes along... omg.. I need to talk about this
