    Reason for pain when stressed

    The Adrenal Glands
    • Epinephrine = adrenaline
    • Increases bld glucose
    • Stimulates release of ACTH from pituitary
    • Increases the rate and force of cardiac contractions
    • Constricts bld vessels in skin, mucous membrane, kidneys
    • Dilates bld vessels in skeletal muscles, coronary arteries, pulmonary
    arteries

    I think this is the reason ICers have more pain when stressed or having problems with adrenal glands.

      That is a really interesting idea. I hope you get some relief from your pain.

      I also have some journals of my journeys, past and some present at:

      Most of my Journaling now is currently on Facebook. These are old and my ICN Patient story is very old and outdated.

          This is very interesting. I've often wondered about if stress brought on my IC. Thank you for the post!

              So how is it working for you now that you are on the more naturopathic meds? Since I was just diagnosed, I'm really struggling with whether to go the traditional or naturopathic route.

              Diagnosed 6/4/07, also IBS, migraines, allergies,
              hysterectomy, previous fibroids, cysts.

              Help measures in process -- hope to start PT, etc. Main pain meds: HEAT, Tylenol, Alleve, Working on diet!

              Cold infusion of Marshmallow Root tea 2x day, Citrus free Quercetin 2x day

              I am not my illness -- it's just a facet, I aim to enjoy life and pursue my dreams! I hope it makes me a more compassionate human being.

                  I can almost feel my mucous membranes contracting like they did my first year with symptoms when when an angry parent would call me (teacher) to find out why I hadn't been at work ( two diagnostic surgeries). Thanks for the pain chart, Dean.
