:) I just realized, I have not had bladder pain at all for going on 3 days now. I wonder why not? Is my Bion kicking in that way? Or is it just a coincidence? It's so hard to tell with IC. It's such an unpredictable disease.
I could tell right away with the Bion that my urgency/frequency was decreased by a lot, but I was still having some bladder pain, especially at night, and that really depressed me. But these last few days, there just hasn't been any bladder pain at all, not even at night, and I'm just astounded and so happy. :woohoo:
Well, if this Bion is keeping the bladder pain at bay, I sure am liking this device more and more every day! Whatever is keeping the bladder pain away, I hope it keeps working, LOL!
I must still be having some inflammation at night that I can't feel though, because I noticed that at night my quantity of urine voided at each void is still kind of on the low side. During the day, I've been surprised to find that I'm voiding the kind of quantities again that I used to void before I got sick. I didn't know my bladder would even hold that much anymore. I mean, I probably still can't void as much as a normal person, but it's really great for me, compared to what I have been used to.
Well, if the Bion is doing all of this for me, and if it ends up performing like this for most IC patients without bad side effects, it's going to be a good tool against this disease someday.
