my bladder hurts. :(

[auntiedeb]

I am in a flare and my bladder hurts. I didn't want to come here and tell you all that I am in a flare again. drinking my water and taking my pain meds and urimax. I came home from work today at my usal time, took my meds and layed down and prayed and prayed and rested. My bladder is playing tug of war. I know I have one more month to go before I get the insterm in. I know it is not for pain. I have had the oppurinty to talk to a couple of people here on the site about their insterm and was able to call 2 people that had it done from my drs office. I am going to let him give my number out to people to help them. I have heard such good results about the insterm. I know there are some negavite stories out there and I am at peace with it. . NOw if I can get rid of this flare, I will be ok. Fran, a friend of mine at work said you don't look good today, I said Id on't feel well. Dad has been asking how I am feeling, I finally went to him a few minutes ago and told him I was in a flare and that my bladder was hurting me, and he said maybe tommorow it will be better. He is coming around slowly. I love you all. Just frustated with the flares and the pain. Thanks all for your support and prayers and thoughts. I am here for you also.

I am sorry you are feeling bad. I really hope the interstim works for you. I still admire that you keep working. I pray you will feel better soon.

Sorry you are flaring. :( I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully the Interstim will keep the flares away. :) Maybe you can even look forward to a remission!!

Hugs and love,

My bladder feels better, fighting a sore throat right now, woke up at 2 am with it. didn't go to work today and had to hear it from Dad again. I wish he would realzie that I am not faking when I am sick or in pain. I am gargling with the salt water trick and my upper arms hurt me today too for some reason. I don't know if it is by being by the cold doors at work. Thanks for your support.

Deb,
sorry to hear about your flare! I am flaring also and trying not to take any narcotics cause I worry about getting "hooked"! It seems I hurt all the time now, am waiting to try a treatment called e-stem? Don't know much about it but everything else has failed so I figured what the heck.
Feel better soon!

Hi Deb,
I understand about your dad. My parents did not understand untill the Dr brought my mom in the OR Room and showed her with the Mircroscope how bad my bladder looked and then she said she was so Sorry.

I hope the interstim works for you let us know.
I will pray for you.
I have had my share of flares and they are not fun
Love Curlycue kissing

Hi Deb,

I too have decided to do the trail inner-stem. It is set up for March 1. I told them to go and get it approved and it generally takes 4-6 weeks to get it approved. I have heard great things about it and went to a conference with a Medrontic Rep. there. It was very helpful and made me at ease with making my decision. I am scared and nervous about the whole thing though!!! But at this point in our lives we don't have anything to loose by doing the 7 day trail. Good Luck!!!!!!
