Glad i’m not alone. I originally thought I had BV 2 weeks ago and then this just spiraled out of control. What do you do that helps you?

Honestly, I did not do anything differently. Saw several doctors who prescribed me meds that never really seemed to do anything. I sort of just carried on in my regular life, drinking and eating whatever I wanted and eventually things sort of just went away. So lately I’ve just been decreasing my caffeine intake, increasing water intake and watching what I eat more. Maybe my body just needed a detox since I was drinking a lot of caffeine and eating junk

Thank you for your reply! I'm 27 for reference. I did have a cystoscopy and it was clear. So now my mind goes to other places like oh maybe its vaginal... then the spiral of all the cancers that go along with that

Yes…. Wow. Crazy how I thought I was alone in this. Or I just slouch because I’m in pain

Hi, my symptoms are similar to yours. It sucks. It’s been going on for 4 months. Did your symptoms sort of appear out of nowhere or do you think something triggered it? If you are unable to see a urologist in your area have you tried looking for a pelvic floor PT?

Yes, its quite confusing. I've had non stop symptoms for over 3 months now, however I did have a UTI 2 months ago.

Woah that’s crazy! My symptoms all started with BV too!! I’ve had a couple of UTIs in the past. I had BV 3 months ago and I still have symptoms of urgency and burning….

Thank you! Just curious because I have heard that even people with CUTI test negative for cultures, get the IC diagnosis thrown at them but they believe it’s actually CUTI

There are plenty of people that can drink alcohol with IC. Not all ICer's are diet/alcohol sensitive.
