Hi everyone. I am certain I have IC but my GP has ruled it out. I have had my symptoms for nearly 2 years now and after consultations with a gynaecologist and urologist, I have not been diagnosed. My GP says I 'probably' have some sort of bladder irritation caused by my anxiety and depression (I also have IBS exacerbated by stress)and to keep taking the drugs which (did) help (Solifenacin/Darifenacin etc) The problem is that now these drugs are not working and even though I am
taking ibuprofen
and 60mg of codeine, the pain is unbearable to where it is affecting my work. Should I push for a diagnosis of IC or would it be pointless as the treatment would be the same as I am having now? I have had a cystoscopy and it was NAD apparantly. Please help. Thanks
