Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness about Interstitial Cystitis (IC). We can relate. You are a beautiful person. Sending you big hugs and healing thoughts.

I’ve suffered with IC for about eight years and was just recently diagnosed with Endometriosis. IC and Endometriosis tend to go hand and hand with one another. I’ve been with my husband for 25 years and started having the sexual disfunction like you have described. Endometriosis can effect your hormones and cause sexual disfunction. It’s very hard to get diagnosed with unless it’s in advance stages. People with IC/Endo tend to have high histamine levels, has been linked to IC flares. Staying away from fermented foods, dairy, aged meats, tomato sauce, chocolate, spinach, avocado are key to keeping histamine levels down. This is a very hard disease to live with, you are not alone.
