    I've never been sure...

    Because I jsut got diagnosed this week, i'm not sure what "flaring" is...what big signs are, what IC belly is? can it be during your periods?

    I'm so sorry that you have IC, but glad you found this site.

    I think it would be a very good idea for you to read the information in the Patient Handbook at http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/ The more you know about IC, the better you will be able to deal with it.

    Sending gentle hugs,

    Glad you found out about cranberry juice. Its funny before I got diagnosed in Jan thats all I drank because they tell with UTI's its the best thing...Then when I got diagnosed with IC they tell me its the worst thing!!! LOL

    I know at the beginning I was in a giant flare...no that I have been on the meds and things have calmed down I definitly know when I am in one...Pain & burning is just more intense. About a week before my period is bad and especially with stress!
