interstitial cystitis

Hello! I have dealt with Interstitial Cystitis on and off for several years. I believe it is TMS. There is nothing structurally wrong except that I do have tight pelvic floor muscles. I saw I pelvic floor physical therapist a few years ago when I had a flair and she had me do stretches to loosen...

Did any of your pain get worse when your bladder filled and then felt better when relieved? I have been struggling with IC for 11 years and over the past year developed IBS. My IBS hasn’t gone away since my IC is back but it definitely doesn’t bother me as much. Now I’m in the worst of Ic...

Hey, I'm new here and from Germany. Since 2018 I'm suffering from bladder pain, particularly after going to toilet and while/after sex. My urologist didn't find bacteria and the cystoscopy didn't show something particularly unusual except a red area. I was diagnosted with Interstitielle...

My journey began in May 2015 when I started having UTI symptoms. My symptoms got progressively worse so I went to a Urologist for testing. I had a cystoscopy and urodynamic study but they didn't find a cause for my discomfort. I then developed Chronic Pelvic Pain and after many tests, I was...

Hello everyone! I have been able to successfully heal from chronic pelvic pain, back pain, and plantar fasciitis, as well as many other common TMS symptoms. I have become inspired to share my story, and also help to educate people about TMS, and other topics that I feel are intimately...

Warning not to read on if you’re bothered by things surrounding Interstitial Cystitis. I just know as a person dealing with TMS, that it doesn’t take much to suggest a symptom. Also, second warning, female issues - in part- to follow. I had a laparoscopic procedure yesterday to remove cysts on...

Can someone tell me if this sounds like Interstitial Cystitis? I have been in Mexico for 3 months and cannot go to a Doctor for 14 days. I have severe pain in my pelvis more pain on both sides, sometimes stabbing or spasms. This makes it difficult to walk upright, I have to kinda hunch over so...

Hi guys , this is my second post now of the forum... I’ve had pelvic floor pain for almost 2 years now... back in March of 2018 I was in a stressful time of my life and developed the pain... I couldn’t even sit, I had penile pain, testicle pain and discomfort urinating ... I went to a millions...

Hi! There's not enough PGAD success stories on the internet so I thought I'd write about mine especially because they were TMS. :) It might be long but for someone who is struggling with TMS PGAD right now I'm sure it'll be interesting and useful to read. :) I think it's important to know I had...

I'm so scared, I had a spontaneous orgasm while in the car out of nowhere! :( Has anyone ever had this?? I'm so scared that this isn't TMS. I'll try and keep my history short but I've been scared of the condition PGAD for years now and I came off antidepressants 5 months ago which can cause...

Hello everyone, Thank you for letting me join the group. I am new here, but not new to strange symptoms that take up my life for long periods of time! I've been dealing with anxiety and panic since I was 16 years old, I am 28 now. Over the years I've had many symptoms that I thought were...

Hi There, I commented on another post about being healed from IC, and was asked to post here - I hope this helps someone. When I was hurting, there were very few success stories out there and TONS of horror stories, especially on IC message boards. I had major pain right after I got married...
