Thank you very much!

Thank you all who responded when I first logged in under Newly Diagnosed. It has been a month and the meds seem to be helping. Elmiron, Elavil and Prosed. And lots of Prelief and Tums. My Urologist said I could take up to 30 Prelief a day! Great for me because I have a hard time following diets. I have been good though...only a couple times I have had rootbeer...no alcohol, caffiene, chocolate and tomatoes only once.

I am only getting up once a nite instead of 4 times! I also have been going to Physical Therapy for Pelvic Therapy and that helps a lot! I am still very tired...especially if I miss my afternoon nap...hehe...but feel like I am making progress. I only get to nap the days my 2-year old does...which is getting to be less every day.

I am working part-time but due to the medical bills it looks like I am going to have to put in some extra time. I hope I can handle it. I am afraid I am going to get too tired. My superviors right now are good about letting me go home and come in and make up the time later on one of my days off, but if I go full-time I don't know how they will react when I need to go home.

Thanks again for all the support and will be checking in again soon.

Anyone else out there in South Dakota or nearby in the midwest, give me shout. I feel lonely out here....kamsh@sio.midco.net

Sounds like you are on a good path. I know the diet is hard.....I hate it.....but as time goes on I find out I need it for lots of reasons. No need to feel alone. I am Teeger671 in yahoo IM and in aol.....just email me or send a message that says you are from ICN if you want to chat.


I hope you continue to feel better and better. Work can make things more difficult.....talk to your doctor .....he may be able to encourage them to be more understanding if you choose to go full time.

hugs,
