OK, I have been struggling with this disease for years now thinking that it was something else or all in my head. I am so thankful that my doctor finaly got sick of seeing me and sent me to a urologist, because without that I think I would still be clueless. I had suffered with what I thought were recurrent UTI's for about 5 years and the dr's would always prescribe antibiotics and pyridium and send me on my way. Sometimes that worked, but for the most part I would end up right back at the dr with no relief. Eventually I became allergic to the Pyridium and Macrobid (for whatever reason) so when I would have an issue there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Skipping forward, I went to the Urologist as per my referral and was very fortunate to find one who is very familiar with IC and he was very helpful until he left to go to another hospital and I got another dr in the practice. I was very apprehensive about the new dr but after meeting with him the first time I actually like him even more. I didn't realize how lucky I am to have such a great dr until I started reading some of the other nightmare dr stories. Anyway I know I am going on and on. So I just want to say thank you for all the input on here and keep up the good work.
