does anyone out there have non-alcoholic cirrohsis of the liver and ic? my mom is facing a possible dianosis of ic, and i was wondering how those two illnesses coexist, treatment wise, and healthwise. does anyone have complications due to the other illness? she also is diabetic, has high blood pressure and high cholesterol (those three she keeps well in hand with exercise and diet changes), she has ibs, is on meds for anxiety and depression because of all her health problems, and has osteoporosis. she also has had 2 c-sections, a hysterectomy, an adrenal gland removed, an enlarged spleen, extremely low white blood cell and platelet counts, rotator cuff surgeries in both shoulders, carpal tunnel surgeries on both hands, and more i'm probably forgetting. let's just say she's falling apart and she's only 61. she called me yesterday with the news after seeing the doc with a possible uti. the doc isn't testing her for ic yet, but mentioned it. the sound of those words as she choked them out on the phone have stayed with me, and i just keep screaming in my head, no, not that too, she's had enough!!!!
she said the doc told her to cut out coffee, to see if that helps, but she cuts out a lot for the diabetes. she doesn't want to cut more out. i ran out and bought her some herbal coffee, but we all know that doesn't solve everything.
thanks for any advice anyone may have!!!!
