I apologize for thinking that you were lying, but as Tim stated there were just a lot of inconsistencies with what you were saying. But you seem to be telling the truth.
Anyway, she is currently on Elmiron, which helps with the flaring, but not the side effects of IC. The IC went untreated for a long time, so she also wound up developing vulvodynia, which is why she needs the xanax and why sex is painful for her.
Did your wife have any surgery to repair the IC? I know it's experimental, but I have heard of good results.
You really don't have any reason to apologize, i was trolling you before I actually took the topic seriously. You had every reason to assume I was lying to you. Tim is just being a [insert any word that he might mark me for here].
My wife went through two months of weekly Biofeedback treatments (while the insurance company would still pay for it) to help her with relaxing the pelvic floor muscles in hopes to help eleviate some of the pain. She said it was helping but it apparently insanely expensive. When she was at her worst we couldn't have sex (happy Tim?). Even the slighest bit of penetration was excruciating for her. Things have gotten much better. We haven't done any surgery for the IC because she has managed to make it livable, it does sound like your g/f is much worse off thought and maybe surgery would be the best bet. I can only imagine how horrible the pain will be for the actual process of the abortion. (my experience with abortions is baby lion cubs learning how in South park Country Critter Chistmas, I'm assuming they have to go in).
