I was also diagnosed with interstitial cystitis when they had no clue what was going on with my bladder...(I didn't have it). But, when I was hospitalized out in California last summer the doctor asked me about it. He told me that it never really goes away and it is very painful. He indicated that his wife suffered from the condition and had been for quite some time. Other than that I don't know much about the condition.

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.
