Hey all, Im not going though a "I hate IC" faze right now. I've had it for to long for that. Now i just wish i could control it. God gave me IC,VV,IBS & PFD for a reason an I try not conplain to much but at times the pain does carry weight. I have a toddler an it makes me wish I could stop the pain to get though a task or play wit my son!
It's even worse right now b/c I jus had a cysto/hydro but I wont go into the pain im in from that you can read the post. I jus wanted to vent since i cant jus snap my fingers an make the pain go away!!!
Im praying for all of us w/ IC, we're young an we have alot of life to live so we have to try to make it the besyt life we can! Dont think that because i say that things must be well for me b/c I cant work, havent for 2 1/2 yrs now I cant play with my son, dissability is fighting my case simply b/c im 22, my treatments arent workin...... but hey.... If i was still lettin all that get to me i'd be even worse!!!! Stress can bring a flare quicly so... Be good to yaself!!!!! God Bless!

Wow you have such a great attitude! It sounds like you have more severe IC than me and I am really impressed with how well you are dealing. Its hard being so young and taking more pills than your grandparents. I sometimes wish I could snap my fingers to make it go away too, but just like you I try to look at my IC as positively as possible as I am going to be living with it for a long time. Right now I am trying to look at it as an alarm system, it notifies me when I get too stressed or I put the wrong things in my body (acid, perservatives etc..). I look at my body as being more sensitive than others and hopefully this alarm system will keep me from diseases such heart attack and stroke. Of course this idea doesn't work fully but thats the positive angle I am attempting to look at it with right now.
