Cystoscope And Confirmation Today
Ok well I have had the Urodynamics which showed Doc I cant hold very much "pee" in my bladder before I get horrible cramping and have a strong urdge to pee and the pain isnt fun either. She said back then (2 weeks ago) she was convinced I had IC but I had to get this Cystoscope done to make sure there was no cancer and to take a look-see for the little red blood-blister thingys on the inside of bladder for more confirmation of the IC(I forgot the name of them LOL Sorry) sure enough, I have the red blood-blister thingys that are common with IC BUT thank heavens no other issues, everything else looked ok.
She asked me what treatment I wanted to begin after reading the whole packet they gave me two weeks ago and I opted for the Bio-Feedback with Elec Stim and PT to help with the Pelvic Floor issues. Hopefully Insurance will ok it. Ill know in a few days.
For all you newbys getting ready for the cystoscope....it really wasnt half as bad as I thought. I feel the urodynamics was aweful and alot worse (a little humbling as well standing there on a pulpit kinda stand with tubes stinking out of my tush and my bladder with an xray machine in front of me). The pain from the cystoscope was instantanious but faded quickly...they also used numbing gel. Its now been 3 hours and I feeel fine...no blood in urine no painful peeing, nothing...other then a stomach ache and a massive headache from the antibiotic they gave me before I left. Im crabby too but Im exhausted from working before I went and also getting myself all worked up before the test.
I hope my input is helpful. The cystoscope really wasnt bad at all. When I had it done 10 years ago, it was much more painful...maybe because I had a male Doc back then, and now I have a female Doc LOL!
SOoooooooo Im done with testing (THANK GOD ) have my answer and confirmation of the IC that the Docs all suspected I had(THANKING GOD AGAIN )now...its time to find the right treatment for me. Medication is an absolute NOWAY because I get so sick from ANY meds...so hopefully we can find alternative therapies.
HUGS 2 ALL!
