Does everyone or anyone experience discomfort all of the time? I've had this non-stop discomfort/frequency for 8 months now!

Vitamin D and B, Green smoothies, infrared sauna use, walking, cleansing, still seeking doctors to help find THE CAUSE of this--autoimmune or infection.

I experience constant pain. I have not had a day that has not had pain in it for over 4 years now. I am trying to figure out a way to deal with this realization.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear.
Hope it's helpful...

I've had the constant feeling of a full bladder since the onset of symptoms 8 yrs ago. Somehow I've managed to get somewhat used to it.(\__/)

Yes, daily dicomfort. Some days are better some days are worse. I was screaming in pain last night, having a flare up and nothing helps. Finally gave up, took a Vicodin and went to sleep. Today will be a torture, sitting in the office all day makes my symptoms a lot worse.
Dg. with IC 2/15/10

Medications I'm on: Vyvanse 70mg, Xanax 1 mg as needed, Wellbutrin XL 150 mg, Vicodin 5/500 as needed for pain, Microgestin 1/20 continuously.

While I have to admit that I am always aware of my bladder and always have more frequency than others around me, but I actually feel good most of the time. It took time to find the most effective treatment options for me and which foods and drinks are a problem, but most of us do get there.
Sending healing thoughts,
