I am so frustrated!

This is by far not my worst flare. BUT, considering I was doing wonderful for a little over a year. It's hittin me hard. I just can NOT get rid of it. I'm in some pain but more so the urgency. I feel like I have drunk a gallon of water and can't pee it out, I'm loosing my mind! I have had this flare for 3 freakin' weeks now. This past weekend I started to feel great again! I was SO happy that it was gone, it really felt better. I had sex Sunday and bam Monday I was right back to where I was. This is not right. My meds were doing so much for me. I could have sex and not worry about flaring, I could eat most foods and not worry. If I didn't get a flare it was mild and lasted 7 days at most. I just don't understand why this one won't go away no matter what I do. I ****** that it did start to go away and then came right back! I KNOW I can get back to feeling normal again but when???!! I don't know what else to do. I keep telling myself that I used to live in this kind of pain every day and a flare was much worse b/f I had my meds. Doesn't seem to be helping though b/c I know how great I was feeling.

Sorry to ramble so much. I'm tired and that is not helping either.

My sympathy goes out to you. I can relate as I'm just now starting to feel 'normal' after a 2 week long flare..very maddening isnt it??..:headbang:
Hopefully you'll start feeling better very soon!

WOW sounds like a rough time. I recently had a huge monsterous flare and the day it eased up I over did things and bang right back down I went. Hope you feel better soon, sending tons of feel better hugs your way.

I think that is what happened to me, I felt so great on Sunday we had sex, I have some chocolate and had pizza for dinner, DUH! I just can't get it to go away again, damn! I've probably made it 10 times worse, my own fault!

We all live and learn with IC. But hey the next time it may not make you flare. It is such a hit and miss with this crazy disease. I wouldn't take any chances though

That is what ticks me off with this crappy thing! I can eat or do something for months and then the next month it bothers me. I just want to cry b/c of that!

(((HUGS))) Dodge, I know what you mean.

Thanks for the hugs ladies. It means a lot to me. I just have the urgency but some days I rather take the pain b/c I can deal with that, this is driving me insane. I KNOW I can get better I just don't know when it will happen, sigh.
