I am feeling the same way. IC has consumed my life and I cant find anyone to understand. I have tried everything. I dont know what else to do. I am sick of being on narcotics and feeling like a zombee when I am on them!!
How have you coped with this?

I'm not certain I totally understand what you re saying. Do you need medicine but don't have any money to buy it? If that's the problem, your doctor may be able to give you some of the samples provided by the drug companies. Also, there are some agencies that can sometimes help, such as St. Vincent dePaul, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, and I know there are others.

Another option is to go to Emergency Room. They may be able to give you some temporary relief.

Sending warm healing thoughts,
Donna

I'am so sorry, This makes me want to cry, I sure wish I had enough money to help you. I always dreamed of helping the sick, poor and homeless over the world. I've helped sick & poor elderly people and some of my family all my life in their homes before IC kicked in. Remember god and the angels are always with you, With god all things are possible! Take care I will pray for you:angel:

Gwen, I am so very sorry that you are so down. Please, hang on, there is hope! As the others said, go to the ER...they cannot refuse to treat you, even if you have only a penny. At least there, you could see a doc, who maybe can hook you up with someone in the community that can help you. Remember, we are your family here...we love you, and will try to give you support to get through this difficult time. :kiss: Love and prayers coming your way! Sheri G.

I agree with Donna to look into the angencies that help others with no insurence.....hopefully you will be able to get atleast some relief soon.


I am so sorry you have such a difficult situation....praying for you.

Best Wishes,

Don't give up! Find someone who can help you. Tell your doctor how you are feeling and ASK for help. There are people who care. Things will get better.:kiss:

When at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on!

Saying a special prayer for you. :pray:

Gwyn,
Sending love and prayers for a solution for you quickly. I can hear your frustration all the way up here in Calgary Canada. Please follow these wise ICers advice and go to the emergency room, they will treat you. Its not a big deal, I was in ER last night getting a foley cath in, and the doctors and nurses were very good and sympathetic, and wouldn't let me leave until they were positive that my pain was under control.

Gwen, Hope things are better a few days after your post...please let us know how you are doing. I am worried about you. Hope you are finding some pain relief, and that people are treating you well.:kiss: SheriG

[crystilclear]

I can't imagine being in that situation. I'm sorry that you are feeling so upset. Things will get better. Maybe you could try some over the counter drugs that may help that you can affford like an allergy medicine, or something for an overactive bladder, watch what you eat. don't know just an idea. I'm sorry that's probably not much help. I've felt that way before. There must be someone or some organization that can help. I hope you find the answers you need. Is there a hotline to call anyone know? Well please let us know how you're doing take care - Chris

Please go to the emergency department when you are feeling like this. I know exactly how you feel and I have done it. I have gone to the ER and was hysterical I was in so much pain.

You need for something to change RIGHT NOW. You need a break and it is their duty to help you. When you have had the same feelings over and over, day after day, you need to break that cycle and you will again come to hope.

Please go as soon as you can and don't be shy. Tell them you cannot cope another minute. Cry, wail, do whatever you need to do to get them to understand your situation. I've done it, so have others, it will work, if only for a temporary break until you can reach a better place.

If you can't leave your home call 911, your health, body, mind and soul is your #1 priority, act fast dear, I understand and the quicker you do it, the quicker you're going to feel better when there are people right there with you to help you right NOW. Prayers with you for pain relief. xoxo

hey,
I know laot of people are telling you to hold on but think of it the way i do: 1. you can breath on your own, 2. you can probly walk on your own, 3. you can feed yourself, 4. this is the most important!!!!! your not dieing. i know! at times you may want to die but you cant think that way! if you give up now you will have nothing to live for and your probley better then that! and if you give up now your not helping find away to make it better for you but for every one else! i know right now you probley are in to much pain to get this but hold on! i mean im only 15 and i take all my pain and i forse it to go down. try and get up and do something! cause if you are doing something it will take your mind off of the pain. sure you will pay for it later but it was all worth it! but when ever you are feeling down think off all the people who are dieing and all the kids who are like 4 and they have what we have. so hold on and if you ever need to talk to anyone im here for you!!!!:hi:
