Hi-
I'm new to the forum and to IC. Two of my docs, my primary care physician and my gyno, both have me tentatively diagnosed with IC. I'm going to see a uro for the first time next week, but when I called to see if he treats IC the receptionist said "not completely". (I have no idea what that means and apparently neither did she). She said if you have a severe case of it he'll refer you to someone else and when I asked who that someone else is she wouldn't tell me, so I guess I have to wait to see him on Thursday.
In the meantime I'm reading all I can about IC. I'm following the IC diet as closely as I can, taking some naturopathic supplements (which don't seem to be doing much) and have read about the Prelief (gyno recommended it too) so I'm going to get that.
I have so many questions I don't know where to start.
I'm in a lot of pain and not sure what to do right now. I'm still on some antibiotics the gyno gave me and some pyridium. It helps some but not enough. I'm terribly nauseated from it as well.
I'm also looking for a good IC doc in the Mesa, Arizona area if anyone knows of one. I'd also like to hear from others in my area with IC and their experiences.
Ok, I'll shut up now, I doubt anyone even read this since it's so long, lol. Sorry to be so long winded.
Thanks for any help in advance.
