Have been trying homeopathy with little help.The doctor wants me to start taking  anti depressants as. He claims this helps fall the brain into not needing the toilet all the time.I am really reluctant to start these but am getting really depressed.I am waiting to get an appointment for a urologist but would really be grateful for any advise. pain killers don't help

    Hi Julia, I am exactly the same, I have been flaring for three months now, antibiotics don't work. I have had every test going and would also really like some advice for this debilitating condition. I am also severely sleep deprived because of getting up to go so much!

    I have completely rid the IC with Chinese Herbal Medicine.  The man I was seeing is becoming a bit of a celeb these days. The rest of my health complaints I manage now with naturopathy and essentials oils.  I'm so glad it has gone because I suffered for two years.  Hurrendous pain!  On a mission to spread the word now because no one should have to deal with it, imo its just a label because they don't know the cause therefore they say no cure, its not right and it stinks that we have to go through this hell.
