I've been on a wild goose chase to find out what's wrong with me for about four months now.
At first my primary care doctor suggested a kidney infection. Then kidney stones. Then an ovarian cyst. And then PID?! (they tested, I don't have PID!)
Finally, a urologist was the only one to go in and do a cystoscopy, where he found an extremely inflammed bladder. Before the procedure he had mentioned that it sounds like it could be IC because it had been going on for so long and I had shown no signs of UTI's or any other type of bacterial infection.
So now I'm on Elmiron and putting in the time. Waiting to get better and get my life back! It's terrible to be 17 and have a chronic thing that hurts and.. is super annoying all the time. It caused me to not go to prom!
