I am SOOO stupid

[MakinIT]

Girls (and guys)

I just cannot believe how absolutely stupid I am. My husband and I went on a date last night. :) Actually saw a movie and only had to pee twice during..Problem was, it was highly intellectual so we had stop somewhere and talk about it. (We used to do this all the time before I got sick)

Soooo....We stopped..I was feeling good and yappy. WE ordered appetizers that I knew were bad....BUT I ate them anyway....Buffalo wings and chips with spicy cheese sauce. I also ordered a Cadillac Margarita. I haven't touched booze since a year ago. Definately not on the IC diet I can tell you all today.:tsk: :shake: :bonk: What the hell was I thinking? :loco: All I know is that this is just another confirmation of what I know: I have IC. (Like Duh) I'm not asking for sympathy, I did it to myself way against my better judgement..I guess, for a moment in time, I wanted things to be normal again. It was so nice to be with my husband and talking in the old way we used to.

Just had to share my misery and remind everyone of the importance of staying on the diet. I'm in so much pain...it could take until weds to get this pain outta my system.

Bye yall.

You are just trying to live normal. You are being too hard on your self. I do that all the time. Make my self feel guilty for trying my best to me normal. Then having to take a step back to then realize I have IC. I recently went to Mexico with my husband. I was so scared that the IC was going to make it a horrible trip. I had my moments, but the memories I took home made it worth it.
Hang in there!:thumbsup:

Don't beat yourself up over eating something 'good' and trying to be NORMAL. We would all "WISH" away this disease if we could. I hate the IC diet and it is not fair!!!
But I know sometimes you think, maybe....just maybe this time it won't effect me. (but it always does)
I am sorry you are hurting and maybe it won't last long. I stay in a flare from foods. Take care and know you are not alone.

I don't think there is anyone who doesn't eat a flare food occasionally --- and we all pay for it later. :bonk:

And we always swear we'll never do it again --- but we do. :bonk:

Warm hugs,
Donna

Ditto what Donna said. We ALL have done it and continue to do it. Hope you feel better soon, sweetie. :kissing:

Hi, Donna took the words right out of my mouth, I know I have slipped off the IC diet wagon a few times, and paid for it, but it was fun while it lasted. Take care and hope you feel better soon, Iris.:yikes: :flower:

Your bladder is doing it for you. I have a real hard time with this IC diet and still have no idea what are the biggest trigger foods but I am learning.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

And I thought I was the only black sheep! You are not alone! I've been craving spaghetti for a very long time, so Friday night I cooked & also ate some. The IC diet, to me, is next to impossible. I've been fairly good with it for 6 months, but have been saying :cussing: with it a lot lately. It's a fine line between pleasure & pain, huh? Don't be down on yourself & I hope that you feel better soon.

thanks guys...glad I'm not the only "fallen angel"...it was fun but it really sucks today. REminds me of the ol' college days when you went on a drinking binge, and swore the next day that you would NEVER drink again. But the next weekend.....there I was again. However, being the full fledged middle aged adult that Iam, I won't go back...today was awful, as if my pain is not bad enough...why not just throw salt on the wounds? (UH....I think the Margarita took care of the salt!)

There are just some foods I cannot stay away from... I'll do well for a while and then, cheat cheat cheat... :)

You're not alone :)

For me, it is made worse by the fact that certain foods won't bother me one day, but a few weeks later, they do... and vice versa, sometimes things bother me, and then quit for a while. IC is weird.

Feeling better today...The flare got over faster than I expected. Went to PT and worked my butt off. My last treatment except for a recheck on me next month, to make sure I keep my exercises up. Today I did 8 minutes on stairmaster, 15 on bike. (Plus the yoga, balance exercises I normally do) There was no way in hell when I started that I could do that. I'm actually burning a sweat, been a while...got my pulse over 100. (It's wierd, my resting pulse is like 48-52...must have to do with MS contin and valium...)

Anyway...thanks for your support...the only remnant of my "night of sin" is a high frequency of peeing and urgency....I think my body is doing it's darndest to get the toxins out.:D

Bye now!

[MakinIT]

Ughhhh....I think my relief was short lived and too much hoping. Man, I layed down for a while this afternoon and woke up about 2 hours dreaming something was eating my innards. Charming description, I know, but that's what it felt like. I kept willing it to go away and I'd doze but that sensation kept getting stronger. I finally got up and drank some pepto but I know it's gonna reach the lower part of my pelvis..it is starting to head that direction..

I stopped by my pain clinic this morning after PT to find out what the status is on my interstim surgery. Apparently, no one has bothered yet to apply to my insurance co for the authorization. (Their procedure dude quit and the office is in a bit of a disarray while trying to figure out who does what) I'd really like to find out when they plan on doing this because it's hard for me to plan out what I am going to do coming up soon with school starting for me in June. (Wow...I don't think that sentance made much sense...hope y'all get what I was meaning.)

Sorry about the bad flare, I've done it too, and will do it again. It gets to a point sometimes that I just have to. I know I may pay for it but that is OK. Hope you are doing better soon.:kiss:

[MakinIT]

I know...I just don't like this. It hurts and I don't want to deal with it anymore. Wah. Oh well...at least I can explain what happened and I enjoyed myself.:kiss: I just feel like that belly in the Prilosec commercials that are all angry and throbbing, only it goes down into my pelvis and to my legs. I'm popping some extra stuff tonight. Gotta get this calmed down. Tomorrow I have a couple of appointments, but the rest of the week is clear. (wow..that rarely happens)

bye'
