Back in 1985, I was diagnosed with IC. I'd have to get out of bed every 5 or 10 minutes to pee. I worked in a factory, and my "co - workers" would run to the bosses and tell them I went off of the line to the bathroom. I was sent to personnel, and asked, "Why don't you wear a sanitary pad on the line?? Then you won't have to leave the line." The nurse went so far as to call me anorexic. I think she was a bit confused. I ended up having a hydrostatic bladder distention, which hurt a lot. They overfill your bladder and stretch it. There are also medications they can give you. Hope this helps you some. Millie.
