Ok...I'm breaking down and asking for a prayer. My current flare started at the end of December (after a late miscarriage and the death of both my grandfather and my mother-in-law...all within just a few months) and I haven't been able to get a handle on it. In fact, it's gotten significantly worse and I'm back to the type of pain I had when this all began four years ago.
I've tried elavil but can't take it because it makes me insanely depressed ...odd for an antidepressant, huh? I took elmiron for a month and a half but then began getting worse...not better...so I took a break from that for a bit until I get this all sorted out. My usual tricks aren't working at all.
I called the nurse at the Uro's office and she's going to talk to the Uro today and see if he can talk to me over the phone or get me in sooner than my scheduled appointment next week. I'm really feeling at my wit's end. I've been tracking my pain levels on a google calendar (highly recommended) and discovered that I've only had one good day in the last four weeks. I'm getting fried. To top it off, I'm starting to get retention, which hasn't happened in nearly four years!
Please pray that my uro will have some new ideas and that even if I don't get back to remission this summer, I can at least be comfortable and manage the pain.
