    My Grandmother died yesterday at 4 am

    Please pray for me and my family. We lost my Granny at 4 am yesterday. She was 89. She was in a nursing home for the past couple of years due to severe Alzheimers, so it wasnt a shock or anything, but of course, it still hurts. No matter when you lose someone, you are never ready when you love them and it is never easy. So, for those of you who dont mind, please say a prayer for her and all of us.

    Thank you,
    Amaranthe
    I am not a medical professional. I do not give medical advice. In all cases, I urge you to talk to your Dr. about your treatment options.

    D/Xed 2003 with IC. Also have the co-existing condtions of VV, Vulvadynia, Lupus, Fibro, GERD, CPP, Endo, & Adhesions, and Depression

    Meds: Estrogel (due to total Hyster)
    The meds r/xed by my Pain Dr. from the Pain Clinic are as follows: Morphine ER and IR, Baclofen, and Lyrica and Seroquel (used off-label as a sleeping pill, but it also helps with depression)

    (I listed my meds in case someone reading this has been told like so many ICers that Drs dont r/x pain meds for IC.) I want you to know that there ARE tons of us who are also dealing w/this disease and the pain and many of us ARE on pain meds.)

      I am very sorry for your loss. Alzheimers is devastating for any family. It may have not been a shock but when that door shuts no matter what the persons age or condition, the hurt runs deep into our souls. I nursed a pair of twin Aunts from the begining to the end. Both had Alzheimers and died 10 days apart. My heart was shattered. My Prayers are with your whole family. Love, Ziggy

                  I'm so sorry. I know the grief of losing a grandmother. My grandma had Alzheimer's and no matter what I knew about her health and condition. I was not prepared. I don't think that's possible. I'm thinking of you and your family and sending my best thoughts and wishes.

                          Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

                          No loss is ever easy, regardless of age.
                          Frances

                          Diagnosed: 2011 - have had symptoms for over 20 years. Diagnoses so far: Overactive Bladder, then IC, and now Myofacial Pelvic Pain Syndrome.

                          Medicines: For IC am doing PT, and will be taking Gabapentin, Ativan, Tramadol and Ambien. Ice packs and drinking vanilla shakes help. Foods that cause a flare, tomatoes, yogurt, coffee, soda, all sports drinks, and most teas. Take Verapamil, Naproxen (as needed), Omeprazole, Frova (as needed) and receive Botox shots(every three months) for migraines. For allergies I use Claritin and Flonase. (Feel free to ask me any questions about meds.)

                          Other conditions: Migraines, allergies, mild IBS.

                          "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22)
