Am 17 with persistent interstitial cystitis

Posted By Hope (Baltimore, Maryland) on 06/11/2012

Im 17 years old, and I was diagnosed with IC in October, 3 days after my birthday. When I first found out about my diagnosis, I completely eliminated acidic drinks such as Orange Juice and Apple Juice. I've had this disease for 7 months now. I've had a flare up for the past 8 days. And nothing I do relieves it. I've tried drinking only water, and drinking milk. But nothing helps. Im currently on elmiron, which doesnt seem to be helping and I cant find relief, any suggestions?
