    Just met JennyBird!!! Woo hoo!

    I just came back from lunch with JennyBird (she's fairly new to the forum)...woohoo! :woohoo: :woohoo: I am SOOOOOOOOO grateful to have met someone RIGHT IN MY TOWN w/IC...and she's close to my age too!

    We had a great time (well I did...I'm sure she did too lol) and had no problem finding stuff to talk about (besides IC!). I know we'll be getting together often and I'm so happy. I really don't know many ppl my age in this area as it is...so yay!!

    So other Jersey girls...lets get this rolling .

    I don't feel quite so alone anymore...

    Tracy ~ 29 years old with Toxoplasmosis (from birth), Fibro/CFS (since age 13...ouch), severe IC, IBS-D, severe PFD (surgery made it even worse), vulvodynia, hiatal hernia, GERD, ulcers, severe gastritis, numbness/tingling in extremeties, pelvic nerve damage--mainly urethral, urinary retention, pelvic reconstruction 7.10.07 (fixed rectocele, rectal prolapse, lifted bladder, urethra, uterus, and repaired vaginal walls), Raynaud's, 2 severely herniated discs in neck and one in low back, anemia, PCOS, anxiety/depression/panic attacks (since forever). Still having major bowel problems (inability to empty rectum...any ideas?? ).

    I'd like to be on House, MD as a medical mystery.

    Married to Craig, a saint amongst men...who puts up with me and my eccentricities...

    I take: LIQUID Atarax, Flomax, Soma (yet again), acidophilus, Glucosamine/Chondroitin with MSM & collagen, d-mannose. MAJOR flare from Cystoprotek! Re-trying freeze dried aloe vera w/some decent results!

    Tried and failed: Elavil, Ultram, Prosed DS, Benadryl, Bentyl, Valium, Ativan, Zanaflex, Librax, Sanctura (all caused retention among other things), bladder instills (owwwwww!), Elmiron (allergic-throat tightening). Failed Interstim-no feeling in sacral nerves...

    I'm allergic to penicillan, sulfa, reglan, quinolones, clindamycin, and now LATEX!

      That's so awesome Tracy! I'm always trying to find people in my area and though there are plenty of people in PA none of them seem to be in the Lancaster area.

      I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
      1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
      2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
      I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.

      I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)

                  I know how nice it is to meet someone from the boards, In March we drove 14 hours to Florida and it was so nice to just sit, eat junk food and girl talk with Barb for a couple days before our cruise.

                          OK, Tracy, at least we Jersey Girls are managing to get together in pairs; maybe someday we'll get organized enough for three of us to sit down together...
                          I can't drive much with the meds I'm taking right now (I hope I will get used to them) or I'd head on down to hang out with you and listen to some 10Km music! But you guys can come up here any old time, and babies are always welcome at my house. I think we still have the port-a-crib somewhere. Did I give you my phone number?

                          Oh, I'm so glad you two got together and enjoyed each other's company. That is great news!! An understanding friend makes so much difference. Oh, I'm so happy for both of you!
                          Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
                          Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.

                          Peace, Carolyn
