Hi, oh yes, me sgain. The crazy swede :) with all the questions...

Please, have anyone experienced strange sensation under your ribs?

Let me try to explain my "pain". Well, it it not really pain...just a highly uncorfortable feeling. Like tingling feeling mixed with like there is a worm crawling underneath?.... Hmmm, hard to explain..? Probably doe s not make sense...

Well, anyone? Before treatment? Or during treatment? 

Please remember that I see Matia next week. 

KRAM = hug :)

Ok, here I go again... :)

Doing some investigation on my own here and I thaught perhaps it might be some else that are interested in this as well. It is all linked to why we think we got IC! 

I taught it might be intereting to see how many of us were dealing with other health issues BEFORE the IC hit us:

 Here is my lists of health issues BEFORE IC:

- IBS, Diarreha kind and horrible cramps at times. Came 15 years before.

Ok, here I am again :) Reaching out to all of you other once!

I'm just obsessed, I know, not a good thing... with others symtoms. As some of you might know, I'm going all the way from Sweden to see Dr.B, and I'm just so nervous. And I guess it is all about just feeling that I'm not alone and that I have made the right choice.

Hi

I have always had pretty good period cycles. Almost always 28 days. Have not been on the pill for the last 8 years.

Before I got pregnant I had exactly 28 days apart. When I got my period back it was also 28 days. My symtoms of IC started to get really intense after giving birth.

Up until a couple of months ago it has been like this. 28-29 days. But last month it came on day 21. This month it does not even want to show up. I'm now on 2 weeks overdue.

Has anyone lost their period when having IC?

Hi

So, I have gotten a time when to see Matia, and I'm excited.

Right now looking for  tickets from all the way from Sweden to LA!

Perhaps some of you can help me on hotel tips? Where did you stay when going to LA?!

I need to stay for atleast 4-5 nights?!

Would you recomend renting a car whilst there? Or use public transportation?

Hope you can help me!

THANK YOU!

Has anyone experienced tingling feeling along the spine before you started treatment?

Thanks a lot!

I have been taking Elmiron for almost 2 months now for IC.  I have a touchy stomach from it, but I try to stick to bland foods and then I can handle it okay. 

But I really have a problem with the consistently soft stools from taking the Elmiron.  Everyday my bowel movements are too soft and burn.  I have tried to modify my diet over the last week, but I havent had any luck yet. 

Have any of you had this problem?  And if you have, did you alleviate it some way?

Thank you.

Oh, it feels like I'm putting so many posts out there?! I have so many questions. I hope you all don't mind!

It is scary to feel that you are alone in this awful situation and by asking you guys on symtoms, I might not feel that alone anymore.

I'm so frustrated and doing so much analyzing over this situation that I'm getting mad soon.

I hope some of you can help me with this question!

How many of you have had IBS long before your IC started?

I wonder if there is anyone out there were both partners have similar symtoms?!

The reason why I ask is because both me and my husband are having similar symptoms.

I'm suspecting a bacteria that we are giving eachother!

Thank you!
