Symptoms of IC

I haven't been formally diagnosed with IC but the descriptions I have read seem to fit my experience better than any other explanation and I've had loads of tests for other conditions which are all clear.

However my worst bouts of urinary urgency often seem to be preceded or associated with an acute skin irritation, a bit like \"pins and needles\" only worse, affecting almost all parts of the body.

I haven't read anything similar on IC websites and wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

    Hi

    I just came across your post on IC and wondered if you are still active on this forum, so I could pick your brains? I realise your post is over a year old - it was the part about skin irritation/pins & needles... Hope you are doing well with the IC. Kind regards

      Hi Diana

      The best advice I can give you, is to make an app with your GP or call NHS24 for advice. If you suspect another UTI you'll need to have your urine checked and discuss any other symptoms present, especially your high temp. Hope you are starting to feel better and get some answers soon.
