Hi all,
I have a question for all of you. I am was diagnosed with IC in August of 2003, I was doing really well on elmiron, elivil, atarax, until I got a job and realized that I was sleeping until noon everyday and that wasn't going to happen while I was working. So i stopped the elivil and about 6 weeks later went into a major flare. Pain and frequency, from the stress of the new job. I began to self cath about two weeks ago, so I am in the two times a week now. I have been to the bathroom about 8 times today and everytime I have been I have had the worst feeling in my abdomen. Not really pain at first but as it travels up my chest and down to my feet it becomes pretty painful. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this phenomonen or if it just me.
Thank for listening.
