I haven't been officially diagnosed yet but am 99% sure I have IC: urethral burning, pelvic pressure, VV, etc..
I am having some difficutly accepting a life with the ups and downs of IC. I was a very active person before and it seems like I hit the brakes at full speed. Can anyone share some of their coping mechanisms. I would like to know how you get through the day at work when feeling uncomfortable. What kind of self-talk do you give yourself to tell yourself the future can be better. I know many people go on and lead very productive lives, have babies, get married, travel, etc.. I just keep thinking I will wake up and this is all a bad dream (gosh, how I miss eating spicy ethnic food!). Thanks in advance for sharing and understanding!
