Hey there,
My name is Molly, and I have I.C. as well as Fibromyalgia, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Endometriosis and IBS. I'm 18 and enrolled in an online college, so I can totally relate to how you must be feeling. I was diagnosed when I was 12 by a Cystoscopy and since have improved slightly, although I still flare up quite often.
I'd like to get to know you more, if you'd like, and perhaps help you with the challenges and frustrations that come along with being a teenager with I.C. - Since you're so newly-diagnosed, I'd be happy to be the "veteran" that can answer questions you might have.
Hope to hear from you soon!Diagnosed with IC in 2005, since then have been diagnosed with an unspecified autoimmune disease, with inflammation in my bladder, colon, left knee, left ear, left eye, lungs and pericardium. Argh!
Medical research addict.
