Life is GOOD :)

[Misery]

Hi Girls.....

I know it must have been month now, since I last visited this board :rolleyes:
But I basicly have totally forgotten abaut my IC :D
I have been totally asymptomatic ( SP) for a year or two...I eat and drink ANYTHING I want and life is GREAT hat
But by no means have I stoped my meds !!
I still take 100mg of ZOLOFT/SID and two tablets of the ELMIRON/ SID in the morning.
My URO told me that if I do OK that way, to just
keep taking my meds that way and to enjoy life wink
He wants to do a full Blood Test in one year to make sure my Liver and Kidneys are still OK and in proper working order ( been on all these meds and all ) :rolleyes:
Anyways... I just wanted to give this message of hope to everyone, who doesn't feel so good... and to let everyone know I am still arround hi
I love you all grouphug

Congrats on your remission! Maybe you should change your display name - it doesn't sound like misery really fits you anymore! It is good to hear successes!

I am soooo greatfull for your post! I am newly diagnosed and it gives me such hope. I'm only 26 and want to start a family and so many other things. I have very mild IC with just very annoying frequency, maybe there is hope. Did you do anything different? Have a baby, go on/off birth control? Did starting Zoloft have any effect? I went off that in combo with going off B.C. pills, thats when it all started.

So HAPPY for you!! - Erin

[Misery]

No ERIN...

I did not do anything different other than my dietchange and taking tons of PRELIF and I went into full remission BEFORE my HYRDO to get a D/X..
I did have mini flares from time 2 time and started the ZOLOFT and ELMIRON shortly there after
I followed the diet for a very long time and slowly started 2 add some of the no/no foods back,
well I am completly of the diet eating and drinking anything I want,without the prelief...YAHOOOOOO lmao
I have no symptoms whatsoever...no urgency...no pressure...no frequence...never did have pain with my IC...nothing!!!!

I been where you and many others are...I was 33 years old and thought my life was over, I was deeply depressed and even suicidel ( sp) and very much scared of the future!!
My life I have back...the way it was before I got IC... I have a mild case of IC and the DR. said it wil probaply not advance, well nobody really has all the answers, but 4 right now... life is good and yes I will stick arround 2 over all the hope I can give... you are the ones that helped me through my darkes moments and keept me from going insane.. the whole IC familie , everyone on this board have truly inspiered me and given me a new outlook and lease on life... you are truly familie hi grouphug kissing
