    my funny story and some coping

    Hi All-----

    SO I super flaired 2 weeks ago, the lay in bed with heat, ice and drugs for 2 days, taking days to feel like yourself when you know it isn't over..the following week.....I had to fly (flairing) x 2 to a conference for work ON PAIN MANAGMENT! The only good thing as I had to duck out twice is when I said "flair plan" to my coworkers, they actually got it! Bad thing, trying to implement a flair plane on the plane on the way home. I decided against cathing (esp in a grubby airplane) so homemade ice packs in my crotch....that melted.....had to toss the undies and all.

    I made it home. Wed, flaired but laughing at the absurdity of it all.

    Hope that makes someone feel a little less alone (and vagina ice to my urethra is my savior for urethra spasms and heat for my belly)

      Good story Mel, and it's great that your co-workers "got it." You gotta keep laughing, crying gets you NOWHERE. Thanks for that, Bob appreciated it, he's always making those twisted tongue verbal errors, I chuckle, but everyone else looks at him like he belongs in the bin. Jill, wife of Bob

              awww that sounds just like me. I was recently diagnosed in January this year. Some days I think I am losing my mind with all of the meds I am on. My doctor knows nothing about IC and I can't afford to keep going to my urologist. Some days seem hopeless, but I just keep trying different stuff. I can live with the pain, if I could just get some relief from constantly peeing. Any suggestions?
