Hi Ladies,
I recently discovered your website after my OB/GYN told me he suspected I have IC. What a wealth of information and support! I am so grateful for all of you and the stories you have shared.
My name is Maria. I have had bladder issues and yeast issues for years it seems. After I had my son I had a constant UTI/yeast infection. It seemd that month I had one or the other or both.

Within the last year I have started having very severe pains..only thing I can compare them to are labor contractions. They come at different times of my cycle and the pain is debilitating. I finally saw my OB about the pains and he mentioned IC. I had never heard of this condition. I read the pamphelt he sent me home with about IC and it sounded exactly like me. I am in the middle of a terrible flair right now..going to the bathroom every 30 minutes and in so much pain! It's been 4 days now of agony. I've also been very nauseated (comes and goes) and feeling very panicky. I have panic disorder which I take Paxil, klonopin and Xanax prn for. I have Norco's for my migraines. They don't help very much for the IC flares or the migraines really.
I am going to my OB/GYN today for a GYN Ultrasound. I am scheduled for a Parson's test next Tuesday. I am leaving for FLorida two days after the Parson's Test for two weeks and am concerned that I will be in agony, suffering away from home the entire time. I am so scared.
I also battle migraines and have been really struggling in that respect to get any pain relief. Now having this issue to contend with..I don't have much confidence in DR's at all.
This is all brand new to me and I am really nervous. I'm tired of hurting..I have been on my heating pad 24/7 and hooked up to my tens unit. Please pray for me and any advice any of you can offer would really be appreciated.

God bless you all!
