Got careless

[rosesitty]

My IC was doing okay. I was just dealing with horrible non-stop symptoms from my PFD. Suddenly today, I get urethral/bladder pain - the kind when it feels like your urethra is being tied in a bow. Thought back and I've been eating chocolate, pop, caffeine, alcohol etc. etc. ...I think the combo of everything flared me big time. Just hope it doesn't take as long as last time - 8 months - to get things settled down. Sheesh...thanks for listening..

Ouch! That stinks. I am not overly diet sensitive so sometimes I do the same thing, have way to many bad foods and I pay for it. Yesterday they were selling chili at work and I haven't had chili since I was diagnoised. It smelled sooo good. I went ahead and bought a bowl but my bladder wasn't very happy about it. I hope this flare doesn't last too long for you.:grouphug:

Sometimes drinking some extra water and either taking some baking soda in water or (what I do) take some Tums will help undo a diet-caused flare. I think we all do it once in a while. I hope your flare doesn't last long.

Hugs,

Well I'm sending you WARM thoughts.....maybe that will help. lol When I start to flare a heating pad seems to help some. So I thought I would send the warm thoughts. lol I know I'm a nerd.:smile tee I hope it brings a smile to your face during your flare.

YIKES! I agree with the water and tums, they seem to help me some when I do a no no food.
