Julie,

I know about the sleep thing I have to have my 12-14 hours each night or I cannot function, I am sorry to hear they have made you sooooo sleepy. hopefully this will wear off with the recurrent therapies next week and the weeks to come.
All of the fear and hopefulness over the blocks really do wear you out, not only emotionally but also physically, Are they prescribing you new meds?
Is that why u feel so much more sleepy?
Much love,
Sleep tight and do not let the bugs bight!

Thanks,

I posted to you on the 30's board on what i went threw and how it helped me for a short while but it was wonderful when it kicked in.
sending you hugs and prayers for tomorrow i hope everything goes well for you.

dixie,

you are so sweet to think of me and reply.


this second block isn't going as well, lots of pain in spine and especially bending, moving as in lots of pain in my back.

i'm sure the third will be better. i see uro next wk. and pain dr. wants to talk to him about all the other options we have. but my gut still tells me to get scar tissue checked out, that's gonna be hard to convince dr., escpeially since i'm finally for ss disability.

oh. lord help me and give me strength. thank you again to you and all my friends who continue to write me back,

love,
julie:pray: :thumbsup: :confused:

[JessicainArkans]

Julie,

I hope all will go well, three times a charm, right?
I hope you will find your salvation with treatments that will help you have a positive outlook with your IC, there is still options out there!!
Keep your faith and and hold on for hope!!
We all love you.
Much concern,
Jessica Day

Dear Jess, Dix and all who prayed and help me get through this,

I apologize for not updating you sooner, I could give you a zillion excuses but I won't. Anyway, after 3rd block I notice a HUGE difference. This has been so helpful for my ic and back pain, I'm truly amazed. Prayers do work. Blocks (3) were late May to mid June and still seeing progress.

Love you all,

Julie :kiss: :love: :thumbsup:

Julie, I'm so glad that it's helped you! I hope you continue to get better and better pain relief, and that the pain will leave and never return to you!

Blessings, Lori

[Julie Smith]

Dear Lori,

Thanks so much. What I didn't mention is the sharp stabbing pain never leaves BUT it's much better and I'm pushing myself to get out for a few hrs. most days rather than hybernate on the couch. I know every show on tv and haven't been able to read bc my eyes always hurt, only 47 and too young for that. Just got new reading glasses but still can't seem to get into reading. The severe depression of this illness and all the others and isolating is lifting due to this and it's wonderful to be out again and seeing friends and making new ic friends. I even went to the pool at my community for an hr. just to get out. What a difference these activities are making.

Leaving tomorrow w/ my daughter to her college, she rents house w/ a friend and I'll hang w/ her. We're playing time frame by ear and I'm real excited to get away. I won't overdue it, after 2-3 hrs. the pain is so intense I feel as if I'll keel over and she knows this. My daughter has done an about face and been so supportive and helpful. That in itself makes a huge difference for me.

Hope you're feeling good,
Julie :angel: :thumbsup:

I'm so thankful this one has helped you I pray they continue to help you.
Please keep us updated
hugs and prayers sent up for you
