Hello all,
Just wanted to let you all know I'll be off the boards for awhile.
My schedule is overfull these days & I'm struggling with keeping up with it all. The good part is that for the most part, the IC is managed; the challenging part is that I'm struggling to keep up with a fulltime job, part-time school, exercise, church, family, friends & maintaining health.
Managing the IC is time consuming. Realistically, having to cook food to stay in the bounds of the IC/IBS/FoodAllergy/LowCholesterol diet, keeping up with the physical therapy exercise plan for the pelvic floor dysfunction, getting enough rest, managing stress, etc. is all essential to maintaining the semi-remission I've been in. Last week, I flared 5 out of 7 days, and I think the cause is stress & too much on my plate right now.
So, I wish I could "see" you guys more often, but I think I need to take a break & focus on my real-time life. I'll think of you often & keep you in my prayers & will come back when life is more calm. I didn't want to just "disappear" since there are so many people I care about here. Hope you understand...
