In 2018, constant bladder pain turned my life upside down, yet doctors repeatedly dismissed me because standard urine tests came back negative. I was told it was anxiety, offered a blanket diagnosis of "Interstitial Cystitis," and left to feel hopeless. After years of self-advocacy, I discovered information that NO doctor had told me before… 4 Hills I Will Die On: ❌ Negative cultures don't rule out infection ❌ “Interstitial Cystitis" is often a blanket diagnosis. Ask “how are they ruling UTI out?” ❌ Medical gaslighting is systemic: Dismissing debilitating pain because standard tests look normal is a failure of care. ❌ Cranberry juice and hydration won't cure this: You cannot flush out bacteria shielded by a protective biofilm inside bladder tissue. 💞 I’m Lara.
