Thank you Mis Mary..I am thinking of changing Uro's..This one has never had or taken alot of time to explain this stuff to me..What I know I got from here and researching IC..He doesn't seem to have time to talk about it with me...It's people like you that give me the courage to go on..Thanks so much.. angelComment

Hi Shiela and welcome to the boards and the network. I think I would try and find another uro, and get some much needed help, and find out what is going on with your body. It must be very hard for you to deal with everyday. Please keep us posted, as to how you are doing. You will find lots of support, and information here on the network. Let us know how you are, welcoming hug, Iris. hi grouphugToday and every day you are loved, so don't be anxious about tomorrow, God will take care of you tomorrow; Live one day at a time.Comment

I have to agree that getting a second opinion from a different uro could be a very good idea. In the meantime, I do think you should be checked to be sure you don't have an infection going on.
Are you instilling the heparin into your bladder?
And please let us know how you are doing.
Sending warm healing thoughts,
DonnaStay safe

Thank you all so much for your respones...yes I am still instilling the Heparin...I am going to look for a new Uro tommorrow...My doctor did tell me 3 weeks ago when I was there and started these treatments that if this didn't work he wanted me to look at the possibility of removing the bladder and me having a bag...that possibility scares me to death..has anyone ever heard of this due to IC..thanks again for your support...I definetly need it and your prayers..

Hey Sheila!
IC does do crazy things to your body you are right on that! As far as your current doc you may want to find another uro and get another opinion. It took4 docs before I ever got diagnosed and two uro's before i found my current uro who was the one who finally confirmed what I had suspected . I know when all the changes are happening in your body w/ this disease it is hard to be assertive w/ docs, but take your time,formulate your questions before your office visit and make your suggestions about what you would like to try. If you run into a roadblock or unwilling MD then it is definitely time to find another. Shooting prayers your way I've been in your shoes and just know you are NOT alone!
