Hi everyone!
After years of doctors guessing at what has caused my problems, I was finally referred to a urinologist yesterday. He listened to me carefully, and dx. me with IC. I am going in for hydro...something soon. He said I am so "classic" a case that it is amazing it has taken years for anyone to put the pieces together.
I am so excited. Of course, not excited to have IC, but to finally have a dx.
First off, I now have answers to why I have spent years having VERY painful sex, bleeding after intercourse, soreness, and on and on. I was always blamed and told I needed to "loosen up." Gosh, years of feeling guilty that I couldn't satisfy my husband. I cried our whole honeymoon.
Now, I also understand the pelvic pain (sometimes migrating to my lower pelvis and sometimes my back or vaginal area). I also understand why I have urinary urgency and go repeatedly (even if I just went). I know it seems silly, but I'm sooooo glad to know I'm not crazy: I always wondered who really pees seven times a night besides me? Sometimes I watch the clock and it has literally only been four minutes since I went and my bladder is "convinced" it is about to explode with urine again.
I am so happy I found this site! Thanks for taking the time to read this!
