I’m so exhausted from suffering with IC. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics for years to no avail.only Later on they realized I didn’t have any bacteria or infection. And it’s caused by stress or exposure to cold. Writing this in a severe flare up, all by myself in a foreign country surrounded by strangers 😭. Drinking lots of water and camomile tea. I need to find out where I can buy some herbs here that could ease my pain 😭😭😭. It’s so hard that not many people understand What we are going through 🥺. Sending my love and light to all those who are being tortured by this terrible chronic disease.

Probably the most genuine thing I’ve ever heard from a doctor with a YouTube pretense . Makes me have at least a tiny bit of hope

My doctor helped me a lot. First he tried to find the issue. Why i have this problem?. Second he did PLATELET-RICH plasma cell therapy ando botox. He also removed some polyps and mucus from my uretha. Medicine, therapy, and diet for a couple months. I am back to normal now. No back pain, no pelvic pain, no burning urine, i can drink or eat everything now

I was diagnosed with IC in 2002. I suffer everyday from this condition which is chronic for me. I've tried several different medication and had bladder distention several times also. I would get temporary relief for a very brief period every time. Some days it's so bad i feel like I can't deal with this pain anymore and I'm not suicidal when I say that honestly it's just taken over my life for so many years now and nobody really understands this condition not even most doctors and urologists I've seen. I just watched this doctors video and I'm very intrigued by her and her knowledge of IC and that she actually cares and wants to help those who suffer from it get better and finally get some relief. I'm about to visit her website and pray that she might can help me.

I have suffered with this for 34 years. I have been on every medication as well as having my bladder stretched which I do not recommended.( Painful & did nothing to help)! This is a life long illness. Find a way to treat your pain & try to live a normal life as best you can. I' have been severe, meaning every 5 to 20 minutes.. sometimes there's no point to leave the bathroom. It's extremely depressing & this issue has robbed me of enjoying life.

I've had IC for over 12yrs. Whatever you do... don't take Elmiron!! It has caused me some eye damage.

I am a patient at Dr. Christi’s office and have had IC for 11+ years. I started seeing Dr. Christi and PA Shannon Bernbaum a year and a half ago and I’ve been doing much better since. They are so knowledgeable about this condition and presented many options for treatment, including new therapies. It’s the first time I’ve seen improvement and felt hopeful in years.

I take D-mannose daily for my IC.. It has helped me immensely. I very rarely get flare ups, pain or infections now.

I'm a 35yo woman, I've had this problem for 3 months now and I just feel like my life has come to an end.

Glad to see other people in the comment section at least I know am not alone and I just barely been diagnosed with it.

[mohammadreda]

I have tried dry fast 16 hours with somewhat good results.

[nancyvillanueva]

This is so painful I’m in depression because of these symptoms 😭

[vivavita]

I'm starting a low oxalate diet and feel tremendous relief already. The ic diet and Desert Harvest Aloe healed my hunners ulcers.I found PTENS, exercises and instillations to be useless.

To the women posting who have IC type pain but no answers or results from interventions: My ‘IC’ pain was not IC after all. It was IBD (UC rectal inflammation) and Endo. It can help to get a colonoscopy from a GI and see a minimally invasive GYN (Endo specialist) to explore other possible pain generators.

I'm literally sitting in the shower letting the scalding hot water run over my pelvis because the pain is so bad. I was diagnosed a year ago and haven't had relief for more than a day or two since. This condition and the unpredictable pain has ruined my life.

[kaswekamanjimela]

I am pregnant and have IC...only God is pushing me through otherwise I feel like giving up sometimes, I use to take Prednisolone, Amputyinine and oxybutynine..it really relieved me but now that I'm pregnant o can't take any meds. The hustle it real

Hello. You mentioned natural supplements. It would be great if you could tell me (and your other viewers) what those supplements are. I have watched a lot of videos and am really frustrated by the "teasing" that goes on. I have been suffering for over 1.5 years now (though I have had a pre-existing condition of very frequent urination for several decades). My first urologist (back in April 2020) never listened to my specific complaints and treated me like dirt. It took me more than seven months to find out about -- through my own research -- pelvic floor medicine and therapists and pain meds such as lyrica and amitriptyline. Had a cystoscopy which didn't show anything. Also had trigger point injections. Minimally helpful at the time but not too long lasting. Most everything has not been covered by health insurance. It would be quicker and cheaper just to not wake up. I don't live anywhere near Texas. If you can help by naming specific supplements, please do. Otherwise, please, reconsider making videos teasing people with information that may prove very helpful and then not telling them.

Tbh Ic is a living nightmare. It severely limits and affects your quality of life. If I decide I want to go somewhere where I want be near a rest room I'm in trouble. I'm fairly young and I love amusement parks but the lines are lonnnng not to mention being locked in somewhere, when the urgency arises (which is inevitable) I'm in trouble! Long road trips where I'm not driving challenging. Concerts nope, helicopter flight, air balloon ride nope, I used to love flying and sitting by the window, now I'm just ready for it to end asap so there's less chance of having to step past anyone or being embarrassed bc I keep having to go to the rest room. So Basically I can't really enjoy much unless there's a toilet near, very depressing way to live. I drive semi trucks and the training was grueling!!! But ONLY bc of dealing with my bladder, luckily my trainers were patient and understanding 🙏🙏
But just imagine driving a 80k lb semi and having to keep stopping to pee not practical or easy or even always possible, sometimes I have to hold it and it HURTS like Hell, I'm almost screaming in tears. The crazy thing is if I don't drink much I miggghht be ok, but my bladder doesn't like it bc my experience the more concentrated the urine is in the bladder (less diluted) I get that uncomfortable burning sensation BUT when I drink lots of water, it's like my bladder rejects it bc within 5 minutes or so I have to pee and i won't stop until my bladder has dispelled all the water, there's no winning here. One thing I've put together is that stress and anxiety amplifies the frequency especially the urgency so bright side trucking isa lot easier... Since I'm well experienced and not fearful of driving anymore I'm less anxious mostly only anxious when I'm rushing with a load lol 😂 I wish there was a cure. I should try prayer and meditation 🧘🏾‍♀️

I'm suffering at least 4 days a week with the pain, cramping, throbbing, frequency, inability to urinate. I'm on daily meds that has lessened my symptoms. I've currently been awake for 72 hours because I'm making trips to the bathroom every 15min-30min. I'm on a long term antibiotic. If I forget a dose the burning and smell make me physically ill. There's got to be a better way to treat this disorder. I can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life. I barely leave my home. I pick up my meds and do all my household shopping once a month. I can see how people with this condition choose death instead of this constant torture. I'm praying for a cure or at least a med that can treat my symptoms.

I was diagnosed with IC, and the thing that helped me was eliminating OXALATES from my diet.
