Interstitial Cystitis

[Vagus]

Does anyone here suffer from the above? Thanks.

I don't, it mainly affects women.

My wife has been suffering from dreadful bladder pain for weeks. X-rays and scans found nothing and it is thought she had IC. She is seeing a consultant in November.

Hope Mrs B gets sorted, Barry.

Thank you, Vagus, November seems such a long time away.

Are you a sufferer? We don't know of anyone else who is living with this condition and it might be helpful for my wife to compare notes, as it were, maybe get some advice

I’m not sure if that’s what it is but my symptoms seem to fit and further investigation is needed. I find it quite distressing at times, and then at other times it disappears for hours, sometimes a few days, only to return.
Currently trying a change of lifestyle/diet at GP suggestion.
Mrs B has my sympathy.
