Well, I wake up and it's a beautiful day here in New England. but sure enough, I feel the urgency/pain/pressure/ache thing relentless untl i relieve my small dose of urine.
The pain comes and goes.
since starting hydroxyzine 9 days ago, I went from about 5 bathroom trips a night down to 2, sometimes even 1. That's wonderful, but...
I'm going to up my Neurontin (gabapentin) today to 300mg as my uro originally suggested. I am usually so anti-med, so I suggested 100mg at first, but I don't think that's cutting it.
I've wrote before, and said my pain is tolerable, and that I live a highly functioning life. but since this Easter flare, I'm feeling really down, and this is supposed to be one of the BEST times of my life!
You see, I'm getting married in October. I have the most amazing guy ever, but here I am, not able to do so many things. I've been using my weekends to rest, but there's so much i want to do. I feel so beaten down right now; I'm grateful for what the 25mg of hydrox is doing, but when will the urgency/filling with small amount of urine ache/pressure/pain go away? If 10 is the worse, I don't usually go beyond 5. but it still STINKS!
My goal is to get this thing under control by my wedding, and have a great honeymoon. I also ahve vulbar vestibulitis, which has GREATLY improved with physical therapy, clobetasol (2x weekly), and T cream for my severe androgen insufficency. T has made a huge and positive impact on my life.
I guess I just need to vent. life is so great, but for this. as I said, it's beautiful here, and i'm seconds away from breaking down from the sheer frustration of it all. I am praying that the gabapentin eventually takes effect. I have also been sticking fairly close to the diet, and I am on day 3 of my menses. Sigh.
I just want to be okay, be able to be intimate with my fiance ( is that okay to say here?), and just be good. I had been doing so well...
Thanks all, for letting me vent.
