HI Alison, my symptoms - are you ready.........
-constantly having the urge to urinate with no relief even after going
-terrible pressure on my bladder which makes it difficult for me to walk + impossible to stand up straight
-frequency + urgency- I have to go every 5 minutes - 10minutes max day + night
-back ache
I am in that much pain that the very thought of even standing up from my chair almost brings me tears!
I am thinking about the catheter as I have been on other forums + saw that it takes away the feeling of wanting to go all the time. The consultant said himself that it would take away the feeling but not the pain. That would be fine - I am finding it difficult to cope with both.
I am constantly exhausted + just finding it really difficult - I long just to walk around the supermarket!
I am still feeling really down but haven't got much choice other than to get on with things. I am very lucky to have a great fiance though - I count my blessings that I have got him!
To be honest, I am losing faith in doctors as they just don't seem to know much about IC + usually send me away telling me to retrain my bladder or to drink cranberry juice!
Thank you for your continued support - I will continue to write on here with updates, youhave been very kind xx
