I Am Back From Hydro/cysto

Just got back from my 5th hydro/cysto, still kinda drugged, had to give my phenagran (sp) because I was so sick. She said everything still the same.

The funny part was, she came in to see me before the procedure, and she said she loved me because I was so well read regarding IC and she had to be on her toes when she saw me. She came in and gave me a big hug.

She went to a big conference, and said the main dr. for IC, got up on stage and said, "We do not know what causes IC and I do not know of any treatment that will fix it". Sad Sad Sad

I am glad all went ok with your hydro. I am not suprised at all about what your doc told you about the doctor saying they have no clue about IC or it's origin. At least he was honest though. Hey, like my gastroenterologist said, urologists are like 30 years behind the gastro's, and he even told me that the gastro docs have so much more to learn when it comes to the digestive tract, so that does not sound good for the urologists. I hope they come up with some kind of idea to help us better with this disease one day soon, but I am not holding my breathe if you know what I mean.
