Thank you for sharing this. About two years ago I had been diagnosed with IC, but years before the horrible symtoms started, I had gotten less severe symtoms such as straining only a little to urinate before bed, I had a bunch of urological testing with no clear diagnosis, but was told to see a physical therapist. It wasnt a major issue at the time, besides getting to bed much later, but then one day I was drinking a cold drink and all of a sudden my bladder went into some kind of major spasm and I felt like I was going to be in the bathroom forever. Then my life was turned upside down and I was basically bedridden and lost so much weight and was dehydrated ( I was terrified to just go to the bathroom) a doctor admitted me to the hospital and was worried I was going to die. When I finally got diagnosed, a doctor I saw for treatment asked if I was molested ever-And yes I was by a sibling and neighbor one night (the abuse was only a short occurrence) but I remember how ashamed I felt the next day and slowly became fearful of all men and needed a lot of therapy. So although I dont know if that one time experience was the cause, the emotions after it that I developed probably did have something to do with the development of this condition.
