Did any of you talk to your doctor about a handicap sticker for your car? I have severe IC but I'm only 23 so I feel guilty and out of sorts asking my doctor about a handicap card. I also feel uncomfortable about using my bathroom passes. When I'm in a mall and can't find a bathroom I am in extreme pain however I am very young and I am afraid of what others will think if I use them. Does anyone else have these issues? Also caths really bother my urethra and I am prone to UTI's so every time I get cath'd I get an infection. My doctor really wants me to do rescue instills but I am terrified of getting a UTI on top of IC. Does anyone else have thaws issues?
Thanks

Take: elmiron 2twice a day
Cymbalta once a day
Prosed ds as needed
Lydocaine gel for sex
Tramadol as needed
Oxycodone as needed
Diagnosed with severe IC April 2011
Suffered for 8 years without a diagnoses
I'm 23 and have always had issues but when I was 16 things got much worse. I saw urologists, pediatricians, and gynecologists and nobody had any answers it was either in my head or an infection. Finally found a wonderful doctor who diagnosed me with IC.
