Hi my name is Joy and as of yet I have not been diagnosed. However I have all the symptom except not being able to wizz. I go 40-50 times a day. Had to stop working because of this and other health related problems.
Next month I have to have my bowel resectioned because of diverticulitis which has put my in the hospital 4 times in the last 14 months.
I see the URO again at the end of this month. I have seen him once and was not impressed. Time will tell on this one. I feel like he is not taking me serious. He WILL or I will find someone else.
I have run out of unemployment insurance. And would really like to get back to work.As it is right now I can't sit through an interview. "They" don't seem to like it when you say,"Excuse me for a moment I need to use the restroom". At that moment you know you are not going to be hired.
I am glad I found this forum it is much better than anything else I have come across so far.
Thanks for being here.

WELCOME TO THE ICN!!!! I hate the problem of doctors not taking you seriously...I am so sorry. I am also so sorry you are going through so much. I realize the difficulties of wanting to work but not able to...and not having enough money...sorry no fun either.

I hope you don't have IC but if you do...I hope you get the best treatment possible and feel better soon. I hope we can help you here...and give you all the support you deserve.

I hope you get better.
