    Hit W/Flare Out Of The Blue

    With some pain always there a couple hrs ago I got hit hard. I am sitting here rocking & typing b/c of the pain. I have to go to work in a few hrs & I am getting ready to go lay down with a heating pad for awhile hoping to feel better by the time I need to get up, yeah right. I get a flare right at the time of my period & I am suppose to start today, which I probably won't for a few more days. I hope it doesn't get too bad where I need to go to the ER again, that demorol is some good stuff, heehee, but the bill for the ER is not.
    I go back to the uro Feb 16th to see how I am doing & will most likely get scheduled for more tests.
    Going to bed, talk to you all later.

    Marlene,
    I hope you get to feeling better soon. I always flare too around my period time. If it last too long and you suspect an infection, you might want to get that checked out too. Sending hugs,

      *Kept trying a million different treatments for all these things until I found what works, and I am doing okay these days with the help of a cocktail of medications and the InterStim, which was first placed in 2007. [I have had 2 revisions - one in 2010 when my battery died and had to be replaced, and one complete replacement (lead and generator) in 2012 after a fall on my stairs caused my lead to move.]
      *Current meds include Atarax (50mg at night), Lyrica (150mg twice a day), Xanax (0.5mg at night and as needed), Zanaflex (4mg at night), hydrocodone (10/325, every 6 hours as needed), Advair, Nasonex, Singulair (10mg at night), oral contraceptives, home instills containing Elmiron and Marcaine (as often as I need to do them).

              Thank you all for your kind words & support. I ended up not going to work b/c I was groggy from my meds & still in pain. I do feel somewhat better this morning. I woke up & gushed from starting my period, very heavy bleeding.
              Thanks again, you are all great angel grouphug
