my ic story is a lil different...i had a cystocele (sp)about 5 yrs ago so dr done a hyster n bladder tack ,didnt know at the time i had ic...after many many problems and a diganosis of ic 3 yrs later i had another cystocele n they had to do the mesh support sugery. i had no pelvis floor muscles after first surgery so the next one was even worse..tried to build pfm up w/therapy but u can only do so much. see i cant get up in the mornings n say im going to do this this n this...cant be on my feet all day, have to get off of feet n have plenty of rest or i get the feeling everything is falling out again. so i cant sit at a desk cause bladder has a flare, cant be on feet all day, cant lift anything over 5 pds, have to have lots of me time in bed or recliner. so it was a combo of ic, fibro, pfd n arthritis in hands, back, neck, n knees/feet. lol..im a total mess! had some very good drs that spelled out my prognosis n my future prognosis. it has changed my life but im lucky..all children grown n i have help doing daily chores...lots of things i cant do...even bending n stooping is a no no. i have my mom that goes to the grocery store w/me to lift heavy things n my husband is always around to carry things in. it took almost 2 yrs for me to go thru the process then have a hearing. best of luck w ur disability! many hugs,
