Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Hi Anne, I'm alittle behind on reading my messages but yes that's what IC stands for..I started out having several Urinary Tract Infections and then eventually they couldn't find any bacteria causing my symptoms. That's how many of us are prior to developing IC. My symptoms started out with pain burning while urinating especially from my urethra(this is also known as urethral syndrome which many patients start out having these symptoms develope IC) then sometime later my pain was mainly within my bladder at which I had the pinpoint hemmorages which is diagnosed from a Cysto/Hydrodistention where the bladder is stretched under anesthesia to view . However, there is also IC which is from Hunner Ulcers which I believe are larger and noticable without stretching the bladder. I also had bladder spasms, frequency(some IC patients go over 100 times a day while others not as much), urgency needing to go right now and not able to wait, as well is pain that can be mild to severe..This can be excrutiating at times.. Here's a website that you can look up info on IC www.ichelp.org Take Care, is IC interstitial cystitus? i am having some testing done in a week and they are thinking i have IC...what kind of symptoms do you have w/ this? anne ===== Interstitial Cystitis Awareness Fibromyalgia Awareness Open Records Supporter UNITED WE STAND! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
