Hi everyone,
When I went to get my cysto with Hydro done I had to meet with the anistigeologist (sp) for pre blood work etc. I found him to be very informative . As you know, one of the questions they ask is have you had a cold flu within the last 6 weeks. I said to him that I was a person who used to get colds and flues a lot but have not been sick, not even with a sniffle or cough for the last 2 years and I find it really strange. He said that the reason why my bladder is inflammed is because I have an over active immune system and because of this It would be hard for me to pick up a cold bug and that is the reason why I haven't been sick. Is there anyone else here who is the same way? or has a doctor ever told you this type of info before? Anyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've never heard that before, but it is an interesting theory. I seem to get colds/flu about twice a year, and am in the middle of my second yearly head cold right now.

Thanks for your replies, Very strange and I would love to hear the answer for sure on this as well. I guess it goes back to whether or not IC is an autoimmune disease or not. Basically this doctor ( however, not a uro) said that when your immune system is over active then you will get skin rashes, ashma, and iflammations and your immune system starts attacking yourself. ( I have all of those problems)I questioned a friend who is a doctor and he agreed with this docs comments. Well, if anyone hears anything more about this let me know.
THanks,
Krista
