I have never really been "diagnosed" with IC using a hydrodestention but my urogynogologist said I must have a little IC...well it started with freaquency and then moved into pain...especially after sex. I have not ever been on any perscription medicines for my IC and have been going up and down with flares but nothing that I can't handle with ibuprofin. However, being 26 I don't know if I should try to heal it all using the natural techniques I've read about or to just go on elmiron etc...to have a life now before it is too late. Will it get worse if I don't get on these meds? Will these things help with sex? I'm lost and scared about finding a relationship with all this mess and I'm scared about not treating my IC correctly...even if this means going on perscription meds when I shouldn't. I've lived with it for about 3 years now without meds and don't know where to take it from here. Can anyone help me with these two HUGE fears?:confused:
