IC Disease

This YouTube video from a news report is great and has some really important information for those just diagnosed with IC or for someone who just wants a little background information. The video features an IC patient and details her struggle and how long it took her to get diagnosed. An IC doctor says in the video that it typically takes an IC patient five years and at least five different physicians before getting a proper diagnosis.

This can become a real problem for IC patients because the longer the illness is left undiagnosed the more excruciating the pain can become. The woman featured in the video says that some days she can’t even get out of bed. I can definitely relate to her!

Make sure you watch the video and please comment on your thoughts.
