I wanna rip this sucker right out!!!!!!!

[ICNJess]

I am in so much pain with this infection, and can't take anything for pain, and the pain management--well don't get me started on them. And now not only is my grandfather doing poorly, my uncle, the youngest, was found passed out and had to have two heart surgeries to get him going...outcome is still iffy so I am stressing and very worried. What more can go wrong? I cannot take much more...

[Cali girl]

Oh Jess, I wish there was something that I can do to make you feel better. I will keep praying for you and your grandfather and uncle to feel better soon. Sending lots of hugs and kisses to you and your grandfather and uncle too.

{{{{Jess********** Aw sweetie, you have been through so much! I am sorry that you are hurting, and also about your uncle, and grandfather. I have been in a big flare lately too...ever since Debbie died, maybe just the shock and stress :confused: Well, hon, hope things get better for you really soon! kissing grouphug Love ya, Sheri

[ICNJess]

Thanks a lot everyone, everything you said means so much :) My uncle is doing okay so far, they put something in one of his arteries to widen the passage, it was 80% clogged. Brings me back to Deb again. :( As for my flare, well I had a stroke of good luck. At the grocery store, I ran into my uro's nurse, and I told her about all my pain and she knew about the pain clinic fiasco already, and I complained a little about how booked up my uro is, and she said to call her Monday and she'd bump me up somehow. We're going to discuss TENS and Chlorpactin.

I also have to get my stim reprogrammed, so healthwise this will be a busy few months coming up. cussing banghead Our local newspaper did an article on me and IC, and thankfully I've gotten some responses from women in the community who have that all to familiar feeling and want more info on IC. But this bladder of mine, all I'm feeling is the burn, and then it turns into spasms that rattle my abdomen, followed by the scraping glass feeling. Pity party for one. frown

Jess,

Thinking about you and sending my prayers. Sure do hope you get relief, FAST.

Hugs, Julie angel grouphug kissing

[poetgirl]

Hope you feel better soon, Jess! I know you sure could use a break. Sending healing prayers your way!

[Katrina]

Jess and Dixie you are both in my prayers. There is a lot I can handle with my own health but little I can handle outside of it....big prayers to you two.

[felineperson3]

Prayers continuing for you, Jess. angel

Things will begin to ease up for you soon, surely. Glad your uncle is doing better and perhaps you can deal with all these stressors after you see your Uro Monday and can get some relief from your discomfort. It's much more difficult to deal with all the traumas in life when we are feeling physically ill ourselves.
Take care--we love you and keep us posted on how you're doing. grouphug kissing

Hi all,

The flare goes on, and my uncle is home, resting. My other uncle called my grandmother to tell her yesterday that he has stage 1 throat cancer...my dad's older brother...his baby brother is the one who had the heart surgeries. I am so sick of this bad news...throat cancer...of all things...why God has to do this is beyond me, first Deb, now all this. And the flare from hell.

I hope my uro can see me soon, I don't think my infections went away, and all this stress, I have no pain meds, I have nothing but dozens of tears to get me through this mess... frown

[Julie Smith]

Jess,

I'm sending hugs and prayers you're way. Also, perhaps when you call uro. and tell how bad you feel they'll squeeze you right in. If they don't, ask to leave a message for the dr. to call you. That way, you can tell him how awful you feel and that you don't have any more pain meds. Hopefully you'll get in one way or the other. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Take care and hope things will ease down a little more for you, luv ya lots mum Iris. kissing grouphug

[ICNJess]

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for being here. :) No news on my uncles yet. The heart attack one is doing better, found out that the Atkins diet did him in. banghead That's what the doc said.

No news on my cancer uncle, but I am so worried. I cry every night, life is so cruel. :( And today I saw the uro and my infection will NOT go away, so that is partly why I am flaring. That, and my period, and stress. I walked in to the uro's today and he could just see I was suffering, so he told me I don't have to go back to the pain clinic and wrote me a script for my Neurontin and referred me to the PT for a TENS unit, and gave me a script for the infection. scream banghead

Anyway, I'm going to be popping in and out of the boards--I just don't know when I'm going to have to drop everything to get to Chicago for my grandfather or uncle. So if you don't see me around, that's why. I'll keep Cindy posted on things.

Thanks for being there everyone. I appreciate it a lot.

Hugs and love,
Jess

Dear Jess,

You poor baby. You have soooooooooo much going on right now and I understand how it feels to be so ill, hurt so bad, and have the world crumble around you.

Know that I'm thinking of you, praying for you and your family and that I understand, truly, everything that you're going through as I've experienced everything you mentioned I believe.

Write if you need a shoulder......I've been on the couch for 2 days having my own pity party, so, maybe we could party together?

Hugs! Love, Sandy
