I was diagnosed with IC 02/10 with cytoscopy. It was a relief to know that the pain I was having for the last 1 1/2 years was not in my head, as some doctors had insisted, but it was a real tangible illness. Initially, although scared to death, I embraced it, researched it, visited this site often, pursued treatment, conventional and alternative. I have accumulated quite a host of compassionate caregivers, along with my wonderful husband of 21 years. I am very thankful for that.
I don't know if I expected to will this problem away or what, but I have trouble accepting that this is something that will be with me for a long time.
Trouble accepting the major life changes I have made and will have to make.
I am in counseling now and my counselor wanted me to join the IC forum because it would be a good place to get help processing the process. I've been reluctant because in my own crazy head it means I can't continue to deny it, I will have to face the emotions I have buried deep within.
