Hi, this is my tenth year with IC and I am no better now than I was 10 years ago, at the moment I have BCG installations which give some relief but only for a short time.Have been in hospital 20 times in last 51/2 years.
I am taking Oxycodone for pain, this helps but I am afraid I cannot see any future for me.

Welcome, Ron! hi Sorry you are feeling so bad still... :( But I am glad you are here. Sometimes just being able to commiserate with others going through the same thing takes the edge off a little bit. Hope to see you around more. :)

I'm glad you found the IC Network. There's a lot of information and support here.

There are many, many treatments available for IC --- I encourage you to read the information in the Patient Handbook. You'll find the link in the pull-down Browse Our Site menu at the top of this page.

I hope one day soon you will find the treatment that works well for you.

Sending healing thoughts,
Donna
