i feel so alone in this
I haven’t gotten diagnosed with ic. I don’t want to self diagnose but I fear I may have it. I have been having frequent urination symptoms for almost 3 months now. it begun because I had started having lots of sex and drinking lots of diet coke. I was fine in jan and it came upon nowhere. I notice that when I have highly acidic things, it makes it worse. but when im strictly on water and gatorade, I feel better. I’ve gone to the dr and she said it wasn’t a uti. I am also diabetic and she said it was because my A1c went up a little bit to 7.1. I think she may somehow be right but I don’t think it’s the only cause. I burn really bad after sex when I go pee and I have a little bit of light pink spotting. I really feel like this could be ic. I tell my gf I think that’s what it is and she downplays like no you don’t need to be diagnosing yourself. I’m tired of feeling this way. I can’t even bring myself to work a full shift at work sometimes if it feels too bad. I don’t want to keep going back to my dr and she thinks im constantly complaining. I have tried azo pills and they only help for just a little bit. does anyone have any remedies ? im tired of feeling this way. I just wanna cry.
