Hi

Went for the results to be explained by my Gp, he is calling the area of redness in my bladder IC, also the stomach ache and stingy urine is basically another Infection!! had been infec free for 3 weeks and so feels like a kick-in the teeth to be starting antibiotics yet again, Am gutted. So what now i ask myself, i have been reading the boards to gain insight incase it was IC and now that its confirmed i feel abit lost!! reading about meds and the likes of prelief which you cannot get in uk, I think my GP is one of those "no meds will help!! so i need another apt with him and some amo!! full of information on what i could take to help!! so agin any wisdom/advice much needed guys.


thanx

So sorry that you found out you have IC. It is never good news to us. I can't wait for the day when there are no more "newbies" because they have found the cause and cure. :pray:

I think you can order Prelief off this site from the IC Store.

UTIs come out of nowhere without warning for me. My doctor says I am highly susceptible to them. :( I think that a lot of us are.

I'm also sorry that you are now comfirmed with IC, but it's better to know than to still be worrying about what you have.

The Patient Handbook at http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/ has a lot of helpful information --- and there's also a drug glossary, which tells you what the various medications are called in several countries.

If you scroll to the top of this page and click on the Prelief logo, you'll find how to order it on line. They do send out samples in the US --- hopefully they will send them to the UK as well.

sending warm healing thoughts,
Donna
