I know these do not go together but i am to tired to make two posts, so here goes. I s any one else having problems with sudden and intense fatigue/exhaustion it has caught me off guatd 2 days now, it just feels strange and i have a hard time waking up???

Urethral dialations, anyone else have them, the ICA does not support them but both my pain md and urologist want me to have it done again i can only pee a little stream or drops unless I push (so it takes melonger to pee than a normal person) . has anyone else had this done more than once? Does it work can it scar, side effects or permanact damage and is it worth it just to pee faster?????? They will also hydroditend the bladder while I am asleep, i know that helped but the dialation hurt like hell!

any ideas or storyies to share
Got to take a nap

I have had cysto w/hydrodistention 2 times with urethral dilation. I had a urinary stricture the first go around. So, the stricture was removed and urethra was dialated. Most recent one was end of March this year. I am now out on permanent disability from the IC. My urethral pain is just as bad (If not worse) than the bladder and pelvic pain. I take all the meds....and because of my great urethra....I still have the pain and the burn and the frequency and the urgency. In fact, my stream is a split stream of urine and has been for a long time.

As far as the fatigue goes....yes...yes...yes. In fact, I don't know what to associate this overwhelming fatigue with as I have many other conditions than IC. But I have been really freaked out the last couple of weeks when this "feeling" comes across. I have to lay down and I do mean IMMEDIATELY! I will go from point A to point B in an instant and it is very scary. Although I have had a problem with "fatigue" for a long time, it has just been recently that this overwhelming feeling has started hitting me. And it's winning! I wish I knew myself the what's and why's as to this sudden onset. All I know is that is also a very scary feeling in that I hope and pray that I won't be doing anything dangerous at the time the feeling comes over me!

I have a rheumatology appt next Wed (its been 3 years since I've seen one!) I am hoping to get some answers then!
