I am bummed!!!

I am so down today. I feel like crying. I am in a major flare, and haven't slept properly for a long while. I had my symptoms under control pretty good for a while, but I tried something new and I think it upset the balance. I am so tired of this disease. It has really changed my life. I don't exercise like I used to. My sex relations with my hubby have dwindled, and I am miserable. I'm not doing as much around the house either. The anti depressant meds are difficult for me to get on because of side effects. (retention, and sleep problems). Just thought I'd vent!! I need to hear some positive feedback!!! Thanks!!!!

If you had your symptoms under control for a while, it's very probable that you will get there again. If you tried something new, my suggestion would be to back away from whatever it was --- and hopefully you will feel better soon.

Warm healing wishes,
Donna

sorry you are feeling down, I really hope that you feel better soon. Have you been checked for an infection?

Thanks, I finally cried my eyes out after taking my shower. I was home alone finally, and just let loose!!! I do feel a bit better after that, but exhausted. It was Glucosamine/MSM that I tried. I will return it to Wild Oats (you can return vitamins there). I take the Glucosamine/Chondroitin with no problem, and it helps so I guess I'll just have to switch back and hang on in the meantime.

I have some UTI strips so I will test my urine to see if anything else is going on.

Thanks for the help!!!! These are the days we dread!!!!! I sometimes wish they'd just yank my bladder, but my uro says no to that!!!

Sorry your feeling so down. I had a night like that last week and ended up crying for over 2 hours. this whole thing sucks....BIG time! I think we can all agree to that. and I hear ya on all the other stuff.. my house seems to never be clean anymore. thank God for my children who help out. and as for sex relations. I feel your frustration. we are finnaly back to "normal" as normal as IC people can be. but we went nearly 9 months with nothing not to long ago. so dont give up hope on that. and we all need to vent and just cry our eyes out every once in a while. probably more thatn once in a while would do us somew good. Hope your feeling a little better! :grouphug:

I think we all understand. I have cried so many times lately it seems like I'm crying at least once a day. My car is in the shop, it's going to cost $1100 to fix (thank goodness my parents are paying for it), other bills are behind, my symptoms are not getting ANY better and my uro doesn't know what to do with me so I'm waiting on an appointment with an IC specialist who is an hour and a half away from home. Ugh! I agree with Donna though if you had your symptoms under control before then that's a good sign that you can do it again! I hope you feel better soon :grouphug:
