Wwwwooooooohhhoooo!!!!!

This past week I've had caffeine and pizza--and no flares! I think I can call it a remission. *Knocks on wood* Seriously, looking at a coke and a slice would send me into a flare, now a little burn but nothing bad. But when I turn the InterStim off all he** breaks loose. I think this InterStim has saved my life!

Now, if we can just get something for Fibro/CFS!!!! lmao lmao It's great to be able to eat and drink this again. It would always hurt an hour or two after, and now, for a few days or more, I've been ok and sleeping through the night. Just staying away from strenuous things and such, and that is keeping me ok!

Hugs and happy holidays,
Jess

Jess,

I am sooo happy for you. I have to say I've been the same way for the past month now. I had a slice and a half of pizza the other day and no problem at all!!! I've had salad dressings, soda, and other stuff. I haven't posted in awhile or said anything because I wanted to make sure and not jinx it.

I'm near my period and waiting to see if i flare soon. So far nothing. I'm seriously hoping I'm pegnant. :) I've taken a couple (yes, a couple) tests and nothing yet.

Enjoy all your favorite foods, I hope this lasts a while for us both. I've been trying not to over do it though all at once. I'm afraid that might send me into a flare.

:D Erin

What a great Christmas present. That is so good to hear that you are in remission. I pray that it lasts for a very very very long time. I myself may be in one. I have had more than my fair share of pickles and chocolate (not together of course that would be kinda gross) lmao And no problem after. Same with caffeine. I sure hope it lasts for me too. wink

CeeCee's Pizza has a pizza that does not contain red sauce so I can at last eat pizza. It only has cheese. Soooo good. Hugs

Thanks everyone!!! I'm enjoying a reprieve from bladder agony, had a tiny flare and found that I can't drink Coke, but I am just glad to have pizza back! Thanks!!

It really is great to hear good news like this, Jess. Hope your new year is just the best and you are flare free! I am still in a remission myself and going on 6 mos. YEAH! Wishing for a cure that works for us all. Seems it takes a lot of meds to make even a remission a reality. I tried rdeucing my Elmiron and could tell I was regressing. Well, now I know and am back on track. Hugs to IC'ers everywhere! angel Carolyn

It's so good to hear you are doing well. Please do be cautious about trigger foods and drinks --- one thing I've learned over the past 29 years is that it just isn't worth it!

I eat pizza, but always order it without the tomato sauce --- and it's still very good. They used to look at me like I was crazy when I ordered, but they know me now and don't even have to ask about my order.

I am so happy for you. I know it's been a rough year, which makes the news especially good.

Sending a giant hug,
Donna
