    Few symptoms during period

    Does anyone experience this? My symptoms practically totally disappear during my period. I usually have menstrual migraines and the bladder pain disappears....weird.

    Before I went in to remission, I was always the same way. I used to love getting my period, because the cramps used to get rid of any bladder symptoms. Now that I'm in remission, I no longer like getting my period. Only some one with IC would actually welcome getting a period.

    Mine usually will go away the second I get my period.. Minutes up until my period came one time I was peeing every 5 to 7 minutes and then the period came and my symptoms were gone until about 5 days after my priod they came back. I remember this happening years ago when I was diagnosed.. I remember always wanting to be on my period so that I would not have pain.. Wierd I know but no one seems to know why this happens since usually it is the opposite.
