"I'm happy to report that I have nearly zero IC symptoms, even 10 years later. Working with you was a turning point—I had tried everything from steroid shots to antibiotics. I’d say your work set the stage for me to feel well enough to make life changes that also helped reduce my stress levels. A huge thank you for everything you do. I couldn't be more grateful."

From KC in the U.S. North East
I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) in 2009 by a urologist, who informed me that I would likely have to rely on painkillers for the rest of my life. The recommended treatment was Elmiron, but after researching its potential side effects, I opted not to pursue that route. This diagnosis left me feeling overwhelmingly depressed and I was almost housebound by the condition.

ICAMA: I posted on FB and asked: You are told you have a UTI and you need antibiotics. Do you take them or not?

Comment:

OMG...the abx I took before I found you!! (20+ years ago) You healed and saved me! I never take them now. I rely on you and your expert experience.

Thank you K. T. for taking the time to share.

ICAMA: This is one way IC starts. There are so many alternatives. To learn more, follow us on instagram, FB, here, BOMAMED.COM, and YT.

My journey with IC began in June 2013. One morning, I woke up with excruciating bladder pain just days after undergoing a laparoscopic procedure. My gynecologist initially assumed I had a bladder infection and prescribed antibiotics, but I found no relief. After further examination, he referred me to a urologist who performed a cystoscopy and confirmed the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC). At that moment, I had no understanding of IC or how I was supposed to live with this condition for the rest of my life.
