I just noticed my computer clock says 8:28 am and it is 8:28 pm. How did it go from am to pm?? I also noticed the timing on the thread postings is going along with it. I never changed the clock.
Isn't that odd, maybe it has to do with the daylight savings stuff. I think that added a couple more weeks to it and my computer at work showed the wrong time by an hour for weeks. It did show the right time of day though am vs pm. I think that the time of the posts is linked to the time that your computer shows so that would make sense.

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!)

Thanks, good to know I haven't lost all my marbles yet. Never really paid much attention to it before but did notice the other day when someone had posted after me but it said they had posted 24 hours before. I will reset it and see what happens.
No Mary, you haven't lost ALL your marbles. I can't promise you haven't lost some of them, hehe
I kept on telling my co-worker that I was so happy that the biopsy confirmed that I had IC because at least I knew I wasn't crazy. She said "that doesn't prove you're not crazy Christine, it just proves you're not crazy when it comes to your bladder." lol
