Living with interstitial cystitis SUCKS.

I’m having a flare up while writing this and it’s dead in the night and I wanna sleep -_- I wish there was so much more research on this chronic pain condition. There’s no cure or cause. Sure there are theories, but that’s it. You tell someone what you have, they don’t believe you. “It’s just a uti blah blah blah” that’s what they always say. More research should be done on this. I’ve heard of young kids suffering with this as well and I cannot image growing up with this painful condition at such a young age. Going to school with this sucks as well…:/ Just writing out my thoughts because I feel like this is such an important topic that should be addressed because it seems like every healthcare provider pushes the symptoms aside. Coming from someone who’s been suffering for two years and just got diagnosed in October. Thank you for listening to my TED TALK! =)
