cool medical/psychic/romance novel!

I'm really loving this book. It's called "To Feel Stuff" by Andrea Seigel.

It's about a 20 year old girl who has a series of mysterious diseases. She is constantly sick, so she ends up living in her University's infirmary. Then she starts seeing ghosts and falls in love with a guy who had his knees shattered. It might sound like a silly teen romance, but it deals with some pretty heavy stuff, and I think the writing is quite good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My IC story- diagnosed at age 15 (Feb 2004), after approx. 6 mos of symptoms. Went into near complete remission following hydrodistention and introduction of meds. Feeling so good that I started skipping meds (bad idea). 1 week flare (May 2006). New flare November 2006-present.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My triggers- I'm not sure about food triggers, just started IC diet but so far doesn't seem to be doing much. Stress is a big trigger for me though. Both flares this year came during stressful times. I think that stress reduction will help me immensely (last flare went AWAY during vacation in Mexico when I was drinking margaritas like they were water;P).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Start of IC symptoms- Summer 2003 (after a UTI)
Dx- February 2004, after hydrodistension (ouch!)

Previous treatments- Amytriptyline (10mg), Hydroxizine (10mg), Alesse (HBC)

Thanks -- I'm always up for a good book. I have been running low on reading materials, so maybe I'll order that.

Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.

Peace, Carolyn
