    This might be useful in obtaining pain management

    I really do think this link has some good information about IC - read it if you have time, and let me know what you guys think about it! I especially like that it states IC pain is equivalent to end-stage cancer pain. That really helps to describe the level of pain we are living with every day!

    Sad Wikipedia understands us and Veteran Uros don't!

    It's so sad that Wikipedia nailed exactly all the different aspects of IC as a whole and a most uro's have no idea. Too bad there isn't a Dr. Wikipedia in human form.

      04/17/09 Crohn's disease almost killed me with a combo of extreme constipation from pain medications. My bowel ruptured, I almost died from peritonitis and spent several days in the ICU then more in a private room on the floor. If you have any questions about severe constipation from pain meds please don't hesitate to send me a message.

        Of course Wikipedia would get it right. Its entries are written by people, like us, who write articles and submit them to a website. It stands for What I know is...
        W = What...
        i = I...
        k = know...
        i = is.
        From the content of this entry, I would say that maybe Jill might have submitted it to them. Still, I am very glad that it is there for people to learn from.

        Thanks Lori...
