    Thankful for all of YOU

    Hi All,

    Took off from work today b/c of the frequency and pain - this flare is lasting too long! But I am so thankful for the message boards and for all of you sharing your dealings with IC. When I get really down, it is just a pick me up knowing that I am not alone!

    Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

    Hugs,Beth
