    Introducing myself

    Hello, Glad to be here. I was diagnosed with IC 8 months ago by process of elimination since the hydro and potassium test were fairly normal. I have been following the program of Dr. Fuguzzatto for the last 4 months and I'm continuing to get better and better. Everytime i send in a urine sample to be cultured there is less bacteria that shows. I am very excited about this. I am not having any side effects from the antibiotics which is also good. I am an LPN with 1 year of school left to go for my bachelors degree for my RN. I am 29 and have been married 8 years to a wonderful man. I have 2 daughters ages 6 and 4. I am very glad to be here and look forward to getting to know all you.

    Sincerely,
    Success

    Hello and welcome to the boards and IC family. Sounds like you are one busy lady with studying to be a RN and two little ones as well. Glad that you are doing well with your IC. You will find a lot of really helpful gals, and a few guys here on the network. I have only been diagnosed over a year and was so happy to find the network and a bunch of really compassionate people who knew what I was going through. Look forward to seeing you post, take care and welcome once again, hugs Iris hi grouphug
