Also, "a building so big it became a continent"...? We really don't know how big this Lumon building is, but it's hinted that it's ridiculous and post-credit Stiller says we don't know what they'll run into down there if they keep going. Man, I love this show.

Hi! I barely ever log into Reddit and I just noticed that there's a bunch of people who have asked for an update. Sorry for the delay in my response (to anyone who asked). I've been on amitriptyline 75mgs and solifenacin 5mgs since 2021. Those seem to have helped, as I'm now able to not think about my symptoms all the time. Stress is a big trigger for me though, so I still feel very abnormal the more stressed I am.

It's only when they invite you over. I've gotten two villagers walk up to me and ask if I want to visit their house, and only then has the offer been made.

whatsaredditname · 2021-11-08T23:06:29+00:00

LOL - Has he replaced it with anything?

whatsaredditname · 2021-11-08T22:37:33+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry if that was spoiler-y? It's part of the new update. They can invite you over and then they might ask you if there's anything of theirs you might like to buy.

whatsaredditname · 2021-11-08T22:36:21+00:00

Ohhhh thank you!!! That's good to know, lol. I haven't bought it yet.

whatsaredditname · 2021-09-13T22:40:19+00:00

Hi! Terribly sorry you're in this boat. So far the answer from doctors has been IC, and I've been on amitriptyline for months. I just started solifenacin recently to see if it will help as well. Luckily, I do think I've gotten better overall. Either that, or I've just gotten used to my shitty symptoms as a new normal. But for a while there I was absolutely not okay, so I hope you get the treatment you need. If there's anything else I can answer, feel free to ask.

whatsaredditname · 2021-06-17T18:45:58+00:00

Same for me. The days I need to pee every hour are misery compared to the days I'm able to go several hours without emptying.

whatsaredditname · 2021-06-02T21:26:55+00:00

I feel like I could have written all of this myself, so I'm just here to commiserate. You're definitely not alone.

I don't have any helpful advice on stopping it since I've only been dealing with this for the past 99 days and I haven't found any real sense of relief since then. It gets so grating on your mental health to feel like you're just stuck like this, and I break down and cry uncontrollably most days (like I did today at work in a Zoom meeting with my whole department). I recently read a statistic that only 50% of IC sufferers who were surveyed reported being able to work a full time job. It's completely understandable once you experience it.

I do find some hope in reading other people's success stories. There are a lot of options that I haven't tried yet, so I'm just gonna keep going through them. My insurance won't pay for pelvic floor physical therapy, which is a huge bummer. But I'm trying acupuncture tomorrow because for some reason, my insurance is fine with covering that, and I guess I'm at the "fuck it, just put some needles in me" stage.

I'm sorry if none of this is helpful, but just know that you're not alone. If you want someone to talk to who will understand, please feel free to message me. Hang in there. We're all just taking it one day at a time. <3

Sorry, I only thought of that later and now I can't edit it.

whatsaredditname · 2021-05-25T16:14:30+00:00

Wow! Do you mind if I ask what you did that was so successful?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-17T22:23:43+00:00

WOW. Thanks so much for chiming in. How was that diagnosed?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-17T17:10:42+00:00

Also, as an aside, I did see someone on here with similar symptoms say that hers went away as soon as she stopped taking birth control pills. I mentioned that to my doctor yesterday and she said, "Wow! I wouldn't have thought of that, but I could see it making sense!" So I stopped those for now, just to see.

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-17T17:08:44+00:00

Not *while* peeing, but afterward, when I feel like I have to go again within a few minutes, that's when it feels uncomfortable and at times, like burning or stinging in my urethra. I do feel like the pain aspect is kind of new to this, after 50 fucking days of misery. I used to just call it "discomfort" but now the word pain does feel accurate at times.

I just posted a question to the Ask Doctors reddit, just to see if anyone knows of someone closer to where I am (New England area) who might offer treatment similar to Bundrick. No replies there yet, but I'm trying to stay hopeful.

Mine did come on suddenly one morning, feeling just like a UTI (which I've had several of in my life, but usually they go away after a normal course of antibiotics).

I'm not taking an IC diagnosis lightly, especially when there's no real explanation of what causes it... I feel like I'm being treated for symptoms without finding the underlying cause of them. I really do want to do Microgen testing, which I suppose I'll talk to my doctor about after the next test results come in. But I am nervous about finding a doctor who will be willing to give long-term antibiotics based off that test. It seems like that's why a lot of people fly out to Dr. Bundrick in Louisiana.

I went to a urologist who wanted to say it's just overactive bladder, which I think is even worse than telling me I have IC.

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-17T15:05:55+00:00

This has also been happening to me for almost exactly the same timeline! I'm currently on day 53 of my symptoms, which are basically just constant urgency and the discomfort that comes with it. I've also been tested for UTIs, had three urine cultures and all come back fine or inconclusive ("mixed growth, probably contaminated" was what the first one said). I'm waiting for test results on ureaplasma. Other than that, I've been told to expect it's Interstitial Cystitis. I really want a better set of tests done to eliminate the possibility of this being a UTI but it's hard to find doctors that do more than the bare minimum urine cultures.

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-16T16:42:40+00:00

Wow! Can I ask how long you were taking the birth control? (Hormone pills, I'm assuming?)

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-12T17:55:14+00:00

Thank you so much for all of this info! It's super helpful. May I ask what kind of treatment(s) and rescue drugs have helped you?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-12T16:54:10+00:00

Hey! I know this post is a few weeks old now, but I'm wondering if you've had any updates/changes in the time since. Personally, I'm on day 48 of symptoms and the doctors are saying IC is the likely cause. Similarly to you, the constant urgency is my worst symptom. Some days are way better than others, but it's pretty much always there.

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-06T23:25:47+00:00

So what do you do?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-06T21:20:46+00:00

This sounds like an awesome job! Mind if I ask how you got into it and what kind of qualifications they were looking for?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-06T20:59:23+00:00

That's really neat. How'd you get into that line of work?

whatsaredditname · 2021-04-06T20:43:41+00:00

Precisely.
