girlfriend your in for a ride i've had IC for 4 years now i should say i've been diagnosed for 4 years probably have had it for the last 8 years or so i've been on medication had surgery it still comes and goes what i find is when i drink alcohol,caffeine,sugar tea even de-caf it becomes worse i only wake up 1to 2 times to go to the bathroom but with urgency i feel like i've been holding it for hours. best of luck what i've been toldits when you have kids its goes away i'm planning one in 4-5 months after i get married so i'll let you know. i'm 26 now and i hear it happenes to people my age early 20's. best of luck lynn
