Comment from: Jayne, 65-74 Female (Patient)
Published: February 06
I have had IC for twenty years. The pain started out slow, during the day, but as time wore on, it also happened at night. I didn't think the pain could get any worse, but it did. Now it feels like things from my bladder down is swollen. I take a blood thinner, and I have high blood pressure and diabetes. I thought that some of this medicine could be causing the heavy pressure I am feeling. Is there anyone else out there like me? I had a hysterectomy in 1971.

A gluten-free diet has drastically decreased my flares and brain fog. I also avoid soy and dairy products.
