GuestHi!
I have been recently diagnosed with IC and Vulvodynia. I noticed my symptoms really came out “of the blue” in April 2020. I led a perfectly “normal” life before April. I exercised, cycling was my favorite cardio, I drank alcohol and ate whatever I wanted. I was just wondering, if anyone else experienced this? And if IC and Vulvodynia usually go hand and hand. I have never heard of either of these conditions before April and I am trying to research a bit on my own to see how and why this happened to me since I lived a normal life before. I did have an allergic reaction to Bactrim in April so my only guess is that’s what triggered this condition. Just curious really if this is common….
Thanks!

GuestI just came across this and have not been able to find any story I relate to until I read yours- I’m 26 and in August 2020, thought I had a UTI so I was perscribed Sulfa antibiotics. I had a bad allergic reaction to the antibiotics (hives all over) and that HAS to be what set my IC in motion, because I was perfectly normal and healthy prior. Bladder feels constantly irritated (had my inflammed trigone area cauterized during a hydrodistention which helped with the tingling sensation I always had) but now my bladder just doesn’t feel right and I struggle with urgency and frequency, and sometimes pain with filling.
I’m trying the Wahl’s protocol (while also avoiding common IC trigger foods and drinks) and also trying to test whether a Gluten Free diet will help at all.
