Hi everyone...
I have been perusing this site on and off for the last two or three months. I have found everyone on here so amazingly supportive, so i have decided to put up my first post.
I have recently been diagnosed with IC, however I am not currently having all of the symptoms you often see posted on here, and I am very scared and nervous. I am now scared that my symptoms will get much worse.
My doctor diagnosed me after 6 months of burning in my urethra, which I thought originally was a UTI, that would not heal with treatment. I have been to so many doctors, walk in clinics and specialists, I thought I was going crazy. Following my cystoscope, my urologist suggested IC. Currently I am taking antibiotics for some inflammation that he found during the scope. I was also instructed to take part in the IC diet.
Currently im very emotional and scared. Many women and men have dealt with IC, and I find you all so courageous and strong. I am hoping to make some friendships which will help me deal with my diagnosis, and so that i can support every one on here as we deal daily with our conditions.
Al though a lot of posts on this board scare me, i know it will help me too.
Thanks everyone for posting!
