Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Support Group
Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a urinary bladder disease of unknown cause characterised by pelvic and intense bladder pain, urinary frequency (as often as every 10 minutes), and pain with urination. It is not unusual for patients to experience nocturia and pain with sexual intercourse. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), particularly outside of the USA.
First of all hi! I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Laurie and I've had IC for 5 years.
I'm scheduled next week to take Bicillin in the hip for 12 weeks for strep in the bladder. Has anyone had experience with this?

no I haven't and I haven't heard of strep in the bladder; you must be miserable. I wish I had some info for you; I was just diagnosed about six mos ago and vulvodynia and urinary frequency are my main problems; soemtimes I just get so tired of peeing.....
