I know this might sound crazy but I really think mine is related to bacteria. I've never had a bladder infection until this. I work for a construction company and for a yr I was on a jobsite. I don't know if any of you have ever used a port-a-potty, well a construction worker's port-a-potty is 100 times nastier. I am a clean freak and absolutely refused to use the bathroom. For about 6 mos. I would wait until I got to the other office or home to use the bathroom. After about 6 mos. I had a really hard time going to sleep and had problems with urgency/frequency. I went to see a urologist 2 yrs later when I was diagnosed w/IC after I had a cystoscopy. I think there maybe lots of different ways to develop IC, but I feel mine was bacterial related. I think I had a bladder infection that went on too long without being treated. It took me 2 yrs to received any medication. Anyone else think they got IC from bacteria?
