Hi everyone. So I'm coming up on my one year anniversary of my diagnosis. And I remember laying in bed every morning praying that whatever I had would just go away. I remember finding this site and reading everything I could and just praying it wasn't what I had. I found out in July that I had IC - thru hydrodistention and laprascopic surgery.
The good news is I have been in remission for a good two months and I just keep feeling better. Actually started excercising again without any real side effects. I can eat food again without my bladder cringing.
I've been on 300mg of Elmiron and Detrol since August of last year. So when they say it takes 6 months to work - they are right. I've just kept on taking the pills 3 times a day faithfully. I know this won't work for everyone but if I encourage just one person to do this and it makes a differance - thats good enough for me. And I know I will have relapses again - but for now the future looks good. I think the best part is knowing that even as I get flares - they are not forever.
I hope any of you out there reading this, thinking your life is over will be encouraged. The site has been a lifesaver to me.
Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!!
