A lot of people with fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS) develop bladder pain and other bladder-related symptoms that can be severe. These symptoms, though, are NOT related to FMS and ME/CFS — at least not directly.
A condition called interstitial cystitis (IC) is a common overlapping condition for us. It can cause abdominal or pelvic pain, and it can mimic a urinary tract infection. In fact, it’s so frequently misdiagnosed that most people have IC for about 4 years before they’re diagnosed correctly.
