I was recently diagnosed in December 2006 and began to take Elimiron at that time. Why I do find some relief in finally knowing what is wrong I am having a hard time dealing with this. The thought of living this way for the rest of my life makes me so sad and depressed. I guess I can stand giving up a lot of foods that I love which I have been for the last few months, but it gets hard to stand when I still have the constant pain no matter how closely I watch my diet and only drink water. I have been taking Uristat and other OTC relief medicines for several months which do help, but somedays they do not seem to help at all.
I am having a hard time accepting that my sex life may as well be pretty much over as I know it. My husband of 4 months is so understanding but I feel guilty that I am always depriving him because I can not have sex like a normal person anymore. We should still be in the newlywed stage which we did not really get to have.
If someone could offer some advice on how to better cope I would be really grateful. I try not to feel sorry for myself. At least I know what is wrong now and it sound like IC will not really effect my health, but I am having a hard time with how it has affected my life.
