I finally got diagnosed with IC today.
It really comes as no shock being that I pee twice an hour and have had fake UTIs with high WBC count but no infection since I was 15. (almost 27 now)
I am the opposite of most people. It seems like everyone else I meet online or in person gets diagnosed with IC first and other pelvic issues later. I found a doctor to diagnose my pelvic pain finally in 2009...but took almost 2 more years to get help with the IC.
On a bright note, my new URO is SO SO NICE. Way better than the one that was snarky the last time I tried to see a URO.
He diagnosed me with the potassium test and his opinion based on my symptoms and medical history.
He does still want me to get a cysto done because he wants to take a look at my urethra just to make sure there are no abnormalities. He is going to put me out b/c he doesn't think I can handle being awake since I have so many pain issues.
I was even talking to him about my past biofeedback pelvic floor treatment and he gave me a referral to someone who does internal massage incase I want to try that too.
One more issue and one more medication to add to my list. At least maybe I will stop leaking urine now that I will be properly treated.
