Well, it's official. I saw my uro today (who is wonderful by the way) and he confirmed the diagnosis. I had a cystoscopy and hydro on 23 December which unfortunately made everything worse - I'm hoping that is only temporary, although more than three weeks on and its getting hard to be hopeful. I'm following the diet and taking Ditropan and my doctor is starting me on amitriptyline tonight so let's hope it helps because the Ditropan was helpful before the hydro but doesn't help at all now. Before the surgery sex was OK most of the time but it's totally impossible now, I hope this settles down to a manageable level soon. Not that it really matters now anyway because I don't think I have a relationship anymore so I don't think it will be an issue for a while.
Anyway, enough of the self pity, at least I know what it is now for sure and I can start trying to make myself well.
I'd love to drown my sorrows with a nice bottle of wine and a box of chocolates but I'll have to settle with some water with bicarb instead...hmmm, it doesn't quite have the same appeal ;)
