Should i be losing weight and feeling weak with interstitial cystitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: Interstitial cystitis itself does not typically cause weakness or weight loss. However, the pain associated with ic may contribute to these symptoms. Some of the therapies (diet, elmiron, (pentosan) dmso) may also contribute to these symptoms.
