I just wanted to say when it is posted that when people feel good they forget to post and go on with their busy lives - I have to say it is true.
So many of us really get to the point we feel almost normal and slowly
post less and less, even if we don't mean to.
I used to be on here all the time and got such wonderful support and information. I have gone from utter misery to feeling good most of the time.
I was just thinking about how much it meant to read posts where people got better and wanted to say it is possible and to have hope!!!
I first started having IC symptoms in Jan 09 and was in so much pain it was crazy. It took until April to get diagnosed. Once I started treatments, diet and meds I slowly got better. It takes time, but you can get better, have hope!!!
I still take Elmiron and watch my diet, but no longer need to do PT, or bladder instills and haven't for about 1.5 yrs. I now can eat fairly normally, but still have to almost completely avoid pop and coffee or will flare up very quickly if I cheat very often.
I just wanted to share this quick post to let you know there are probably many people out there that have this condition, but have it under control
now.....so for those of you newly diagnosed, please know it can get better.
I never thought I would feel like a "normal" person again, but I do.
Please have hope and I hope for healthy days ahead for all of us!!!!
