Mary,
I don't know how to change the size of a picture but if you have a photobucket account you can click on the little box right under the picture you want to show us. Then you go down to the bottom of the page and click on generate html and img code. Once you click on that it will take you to another page the third code down says IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards. If you copy and past that code into one of your posts we will see a small thumbnail that we can click on and it will take us to the larger picture on your photobucket account, like this, this is my puppy Buffy

I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.
I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)

Great pics everyone! The chicken picture cracks me up!
Not sure if y'all are aware, however theres a photo thread under Arts, Crafting and Hobbies (we're currently on the thread "Photos, Take 5")that you're more than welcome to post to. There are a few of us that post fairly regularly there and would like nothing more than others to join in on that thread. If nothing else, it gets our minds off of our bladders for a few minutes!

Erika--not sure about combining threads.
Looking forward to seeing more of your (and others) pics; hopefully you'll join us on the other thread soon.

PS--the chicken pictures make me think of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer gets a pet rooster.(\__/)
