Earlier today my wife seen a post, on a facebook group about IC that she belongs too, someone on it shared a specialist's comment about how Lyme Disease can cause IC. The doctor was at a convention on Lyme Disease when he expressed this conviction of his. Many have long been saying these are correlated.
My wife has been infected with Lyme disease twice now in her life. Once when she was much younger and then again only a couple of years ago. Personally, I do not think that I would be happy to know such news. I would only be aggravated myself with the knowledge that something so devastating by itself caused such lasting damage only after I beat the rare disease twice.
She has had multiple UTI's, too many to count so that could be a cause to some degree (even if they are common among women). She has suffered from PVD as well in the past and a host of other kidney and bladder injuries. Although there is no official known cause of interstitial cystitis, the guess is just as worth while taken to try and understand the cause of this debilitating disease.
One thing known for sure is even though we can not no the true cause of interstitial cystitis, we do no that it is a real gruesome disease that effects a significant part of the worlds population. Women are more likely afflicted than men and that sucks as well. The fact that everyone is effected differently is also of aggravation in the community in trying to find a wellness plan to help stop flare ups. The most we can do is to help spread knowledge and not give up hope that a real life with this illness is possible as well as hope that a way to conquer IC is in the future.
Please feel free to share any comments you have or your story to how IC has effected you or what you may think have brought upon the disease or made living with interstitial cystitis worse in your life. Also, keep the hope and support alive for each other, You are not alone, your loved ones are not alone. We all fight to maintain a normal life living with Interstitial Cystitis.
