    • About Me

      Hello, I am 29 years old and I am suffering from IC. Used to have it all. Nice car, great job, and nice looking ladies but I have lost it all due to this horrible medical condition. Before I was diagnosed I used to surf and golf everyday but now I am stuck indoors and life is pretty much over! :( I'm not looking for sympathy from anyone, I just want to meet other people with IC with whom I can relate too.

      I know it's hard and it totally sucks. Mine improved, maybe yours will too. Maybe they will find something better. They've made advances since I was diagnosed in 2000.

    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      Iv'e had problems with my bladder since I was in my young 20's. Finally I was diagnosed with IC in April of 2007.Elmiron is not working and the bladder injections didn't work either. I joined this community because my next step is Bladder Distention and I'm a little scared if you know what I mean. My life is crumbling apart slowly but surely and I don't want to give up. :(

      Treatments

      Elmiron Not Working
      Iv'e been taking Elmiron for almost a year now with no relief
      Pyridium Not Working
      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      I have been taking it for almost 2 weeks and I have noticed an improvement in my attitude a little. Still though it can never compare to zanax.That is the only drug which truly give my mind troubles.
