    I gave a presentation today!

    Hi all... I"m just happy, I gave a presentation for 40 minutes today at work and didn't have to embarrassingly dash out in the middle to go pee!!

    Of course, I had to go every five minutes this morning despite the fact that I took a Detrol LA... likely because I was stressing out over having to do the presentation wink

    But... it went well and I was pleased

    Just thought I'd share, I feel kind of triumphant

    *Diagnosed with severe IC in 2004
    *Also diagnosed with PFD, fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain, IBS, migraines, allergies/asthma, dermatographism
    *Kept trying a million different treatments for all these things until I found what works, and I am doing okay these days with the help of a cocktail of medications and the InterStim, which was first placed in 2007. [I have had 2 revisions - one in 2010 when my battery died and had to be replaced, and one complete replacement (lead and generator) in 2012 after a fall on my stairs caused my lead to move.]
    *Current meds include Atarax (50mg at night), Lyrica (150mg twice a day), Xanax (0.5mg at night and as needed), Zanaflex (4mg at night), hydrocodone (10/325, every 6 hours as needed), Advair, Nasonex, Singulair (10mg at night), oral contraceptives, home instills containing Elmiron and Marcaine (as often as I need to do them).
