Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Leila, another reason (besides the recurrent UTI's) that I wonder if you have IC, is you seem to have many of the health problems often associated with those of us who have IC....see if this list doesn't sound familiar to you... XXXXX : What are some other medical problems associated with IC? Dr. Green: Concomitant gynecologic conditions include endometriosis, vulvodynia, ovarian cystic disease, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Patients may also be sensitive to food, chemicals, and environmental agents. Migraines are a common complaint, as are fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. IC patients also have a higher incidence of autoimmune diseases than the general population, including Sjogren's (dry eyes, dry mouth), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and decreased lymphocyte counts. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Again, the way to tell if it's recurrent UTI's or the beginning stages of IC is by the urine cultures. So I am eagerly awaiting for what you have to say about the results of your urine cultures! If they all show emphatic signs of infection (e.coli for instance) then I'll shut up about IC. If they are questionable or even sterile (not talking about the " dip " test as that is often positive even in IC patients because of inflammation) then I strongly urge you to get a consult with a urologist and explore this further.

Hey Bev....it's just that pills and capsules irritate my stomach. I am taking raw adrenal but haven't noticed a benefit yet. The thing is that I only take half a capsule a day though. SO I guess it's not enough to benefit me. But if I take more, I get nauseus! AHH! Leila Armush Work: larmush@... " History is not kind to those who try to rush it.

Trying to >learn here! Hi Leila. Not a dumb question! There are some docs who think that all hypothyroid is Hashi's. But Hashi's is an inflammation and has some very obvious symptoms. MANY of us did not start out with an inflammation. We just slowly became hypo. Hashi's is like a volcano that becomes hypo; some us became hypo like a slow midslide.
