I remember reading a list of things that people with chronic illnesses can do. One of them is asking for what you need. I'm seeing my son and granddaughter who are taking me out to breakfast. My son asked if I could take public transportation instead of him picking me up because the restaurant is in the opposite direction. Not far, but far enough to aggrevate IC as it's unpredicatable on public transportation.) I told him to please pick me up in his car because of the way IC is unpredictable etc and he agreed. If I said nothing I might be in for plenty of discomfort. I encourage all of you brave people here to ask what you need, especially dealing with family. IC is invisible to people so this makes much sense to me.
God bless everyone here.:pray:
