Quote From: sammikeIn her opening statement, Robin spoke about sex being painful because she has interstitial cystitis. This is a vey real and very painful ailment and it was brushed over and ignored like she never mentioned it. She said she has flare ups after sex and has wound up in the hospital. This alone is is enough to make her fearful of not wanting to have sex, but Dr. Masterson never even brought it up. Interstitial cystitis is a very real ailment and Tom should be more compasionate of Robin when she has a flare up because sex can be extremely painful when you have this ailment.
I'm not sure why you replied to me, but it gives me the opportunity want to say that even though I haven't been diagnosed with IC, I still get HORRIBLE UTI's. I've had to miss work on more than one occasion because I got pyleonephritis about 4 times. I know this is way different than IC, but it sucks because intercourse can set it off (along with a whole laundry list of other things). I went to a Urologist who found that I just had a stricture and dilated the urethra (which hurt like hell for a few days, and I had to have a prophylactic Bactrim beforehand). It helped a lot, though I get the occasional UTI, it's not as bad now.
Thanks for letting me share.
