I was sexually abused for 5 years by my step father beginning at age 7 after my mother moved out and left me to be raised by him. now that I am 40... I have had severe pelvic pain for almost 20 years and dr.s kept telling me it was infections... and other things. finally with the right dr, i was diagnosed with IC. treatments have helped some what, but I will have this for the rest of my life. Constant and daily physical Pain reminds me every day of the past emotional pain that too will never be cured. I have even had a hysterectomy because of the monthy inflimation. That now is better but for the bladder inflimation that spreads through my body everyday causes stress and flare ups are too frequent. Most weeks the pain makes me feel like I'm 80 years old and left feeling extremly fatigued. We need awarness of sexual assault linked to IC.
