It's been two years now for me and there is likely another year to go or more before relief as I just started the process of getting diagnosed and it's generally a long process from that to relief. I am going mad at this point. I am really glad that you had your operation and are doing better now and hopefully in a year or so this will just be hellish phase of my life that I can put behind me. :'( I mean I will always have the IC and have to adapt my lifestyle but I would be thrilled to have even a 60% improvement.
