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.
I don't sleep very well at night because of the pain and having to go the bathroom so often. Sometimes when I fall asleep I dream about Tigers with sharp claws ripping at me or trying to make it through a room filled with razor blades that cut me. I feel the pain and wake up having to go the bathroom. The pain is intense and I know it is real so my mind is waking me up. Has anyone else had wierd dreams?

I have had many dreams about trying to find a bathroom! I also dream that I had really great sex and then wake up and that is the worse feeling because there is no way to make that dream a reality (without the pain).

I will have dreams of rain, waterfalls, oceans, people crying all over me and swimming. I wake up and run to the bathroom:-) It is my body waking me up to go, so my dreams sends me messages.

I've had dreams where I am peeing all over myself, waking up to almost not making it to the bathroom. My meds also make me halucinate so my husband falls to sleep with no probs while I'm laying there seeing people, shadows, and hearing voices... I always have to tell myself to just think of it as people making sure I am safe at night, or trying to keep me company until I get to sleep

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
