See how people with experience in Interstitial Cystitis give their opinion about whether people with Interstitial Cystitis can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Interstitial Cystitis
No, IC affects every hour of everyday of your life. It is a horribly, painful disease! If you have a very, minor case, would be the only way you could work & this is not usually the case.

Yes, people with intercistial cystitus can work. Ideally, a low stress job with minimal lifting and carrying is best. Accomadations can be made at work through your doctor and workplace if you begin to flare. Sometimes, you can't work. Some people have severe flare ups for weeks, leading to the fact only half of all IC patients can work part time.

I think that a person with IC can work in any field, but they should be selective about it. If one doesn't have access to a bathroom on a regular basis and is forced to hold in their urine, then they are going to run into a lot of health issues that IC will only compound (like kidney conditions). However, IC is an individual condition so what I may not be able to do, you may.
I think that 80% of people with IC can work in some capacity outside of the home.

It depends on how well you can treat or manage your Interstitial Cystitis. For myself, I have to be able to be close to a washroom thought-out the day.

Depends on the intensity of the symptoms. Jobs that do not involve strenuous activities of exercise and availability of a bathroom when you need to are the most suitable. Working half a day is a good idea as the pain and the urgency to generate fatigue and quality of sleep is not the idea, l which contributes to develop chronic fatigue, so it is a good idea to have more hours of rest per day to the extent possible.

Yes , of course, in any work. I'VE always done and I still. The problem is that when these crises more pain or you get a blanket of heat to the work ( this is what I was doing) or you resign to the improvement or pa company got tired. That also to me has past unfortunately.
