    Patricia's post is an inspiration!

    I think Patricia deserves the Courage award for this post from yesterday. http://www.ic-network.com/forum/show...877#post314877

    She brought tears to my eyes and I know someone, somewhere, is going to read that post and have HOPE! Hope, and knowledge that someone out there is fighting this battle with them, and walking this road before them and alongside them.

    You are a true IC Warrior Patricia!!!

                  Moonheart - The awards are on hold for a bit while the ICN works out some "kinks".
                  Kim

                  Diagnosed August 2001

                  Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)

                  Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)

                  I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.

                  “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” ~ Viktor Frankl
