at my wits end

Posted 09-08-2009 at 04:57 PM by Lisa74

I have been diagnosed with IC, IBS and chronic fatigue, but new the dr says I may have Fibromyalgia. Is this normal or are they seeing how many thing they can say I have before I fall apart. I am just tire of it all and tired of aching all over.

I just feel so alone.

rollercoaster of emotions

Posted 08-05-2009 at 07:57 AM by MomStanley

The past month and a half has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I have had bladder issues for 3 years now and on 6/25/2009 I finally received the official diagnosis of IC. The urologist diagnosed me by doing a scope with hydrodistention and biospy and boy did that flare up my symptoms that were already flaring. My doctor ended up having to put me on steriods to calm the flare down. And of course those along with the diagnosis have really messed with my emotions. Today is the last day of the...

Weird smell??

Posted 07-13-2009 at 08:09 AM by awilson4356

Does anyone ever experience a bad odor from your urine when you are taking Pyridium? I have been on Pyridium for about 2 1/2 months due to severe urethritis and the longer I take it the more pronounced the smell has become. Just curious.

Elk in my yard

Posted 06-29-2009 at 10:33 AM by VickiB

It's not unusual to have deer (both whitetails and mulies), bear, and moose in my yard. The elk, though, have always stayed in the forest behind my house. I would see them occasionally while walking my dog.

Last week while exercising I happened to look out the window and saw four cow elk staring back in at me. Unfortunately as soon as we made eye contact they fled for the woods. Yesterday at dusk a nice bull elk in velvet showed up and browsed for a good half hour. He was spooky,...

New to the group and feeling a little blue

Posted 06-21-2009 at 04:55 PM by Lisa74

I don't even know whee to start. I was told last summer that I had IC and have been taking my elmiron and the rescue treatments but still feel crappy. I have been having 1 UTI a month since my teens and I am 34 now. Is it normal to feel tired all the time. I just want to sleep. When I do get up and move around, I feel crampy and my lower back hurts. I just feel as if I am missing out on so much of my life now. My poor husband seems to put up with me having him to stop so I can pee. He has...
