Ok, 2006 they told me IC...darn it...it has plagued me for years. I gave to it did what the doctors said, went for treatments every week for years. No lady likes a catheter insert but soon it would come so natural as putting a straw into a drink. Why? The pain, the sleep disturbance and having to run to the restroom as many as 30 times in one day consumed my daily events. How did this happen? I have tried it all including Lidocain treatments with heparin, DSMO, bladder installation, Elmiron orally and injected in the bladder, cystoscopy, cranberry juice, antihistimines, pain meds, numbing creams...it's a never-ending it seems. I have even tried essential oils like tea tree oils and hot baths and most recently chi and vibration reflexology. I fell again in August after losing my balance and fell down my stairways and tore my MCL. Ironically, broke both ankles in 2007....something that is a pattern.
Yes I have become resentful and it has plagued me until today 1/2/12 as I am looking for updated research and possible treatments. Now I do my own self treatments here at home. It consumes my life. I want to scream and then I go through the anger, pity having to quit work at age 40. I think the years I would hold my bladder while working as a child abuse investigator had to affect this problem given I was in such unsanitary conditions. I often found myself going to public restrooms and holding it for hours.
Help, can anyone relate who has ever been in this situation.
