I'm so thankful for my uro and his office staff

[ICNDonna]

I have been in a flare for the past few days --- finally decided I really need to see my urologist. This afternoon I telephoned for an appointment --- I was asked if I have pain; I said yes --- and I will see him at 9:00 am tomorrow.

I am sooo thankful I have a caring doctor and staff.

That's great, Donna. I'm glad they were able to get you in so quickly!

As we all know, a good uro makes a huge difference!

Good luck at the uro's tomorrow.

Donna, I'm so sorry you are in a flare, and I hope and pray your flare will be over very soon and you will have a nice long remission.

I'm glad your uro could get you in right away, I hope that you will be able to get meds that will help you be as comfortable as possible during this flare. All our prayers are with you.

Blessings, Lori

I'm glad you do too. They seem to be few & far between. I wish I lived closer so he could be my doctor too. If only we were all so lucky to have caring doctors. We could end a lot of needless suffering with this disease.

[Dixiefireball]

Oh Donna Bless your heart i'm so sorry you are flareing but very greatful your doctor is careing enough to get you in so quickly I know even when flareing with a uti its hard to see my doctor it use to be it wasnt hard but it is now.
he has gotten to be so busy and the RN try to take care of everything and don't bother to tell him when I need him at times i found this out but i would never change doctor because I love him Even tho. the rn can be a pain sometimes themselves.
sending you many healing prayers and hugs
Rhonda

I also wish we all lived closer together so we could help each other more.

I did see my doctor this morning and I definitely don't have infection. Only an IC patient would pray for it to be a UTI!!!!!

I am now on the surgery schedule for a hydro on July 28 --- and he gave me enough pain medication to take full time until then. I usually don't take pain meds full time, but will be pretty close to it for the next weeks.

Tonight I feel pretty good, but tired.

Warm hugs,
Donna

Donna, your in my prayers!

[sleepyangel30]

I wish you luck at the uro office. Take care:) :angel:

[ICLori]

I hope your hydro will give you a very nice, long remission. I hope you will feel okay and be pain-free until then, with the help of the pain pills. Don't feel bad taking them, that's what they are for, to help people in pain.

I hope this IC goes away when you have your hydro and never comes back.

Blessings, Lori

[crystilclear]

I'm sorry you're in pain. I'm glad he was able to see you so quickly! I hope the hydro helps you and you'll be pain free. Take care - Chris

[dyno]

Donna,
Hugs coming to you, not what you wanted to hear but hopefully the hydro will help like your past ones have. I will be praying that all will go well.:kiss:

[lotsofgirls]

Hi Donna,
That's too bad, I am glad you are getting in for your hydro quickly, and hopefully it works as well as it has in the past. Sending hugs,
Cath

[Dixiefireball]

i hope the pain medicine help you during this time and the hydo helps you more.
sending you warm hugs and alot of prayers to feel better Rhonda

[ICLori]

Donna, I just have to say, I think you are incredibly strong. You are in the middle of a terrible flare, and yet you come and say something positive, praising your uro and staff. Even when you are in such pain, you can find something to be grateful for. That takes an incredibly strong spirit.

Me, when I'm flaring, all I wanna do is whine.

Blessings, Lori

[Marlana]

I may sound silly here but still new to this..do they ocassionally do hyrdo's to see how the bladder is doing or for some releif? Thanks

[ICNDonna]

For Marlana: Some ICers find they get a great deal of relief from hydrodistention --- I'm one of them. In my almost 30 years with IC, I have had the procedure 35 times at intervals of anywhere from six months to almost two years. It has been almost exactly a year since my last one. So far, the hydros are what has given me a life. I have my fingers crossed that #36 will also help.

Donna

[Dixiefireball]

That is wonderful Donna!!!! I'm glad you found a way to fight pain and for it to last as long(painfree days)as it does that way!!!

[Teri]

{{{{{Donna********** I pray that this hydro does as good as the others you have had.......

So sorry to hear that you are flaring. I've always envied you with your uro and I guess I always will;) He sounds like a terrific man~

many many warm fuzzy hugs~

[Audrey Rose]

HUGS DONNA!!
I hope you feel better soon!!!
And I hope number 36 works well and
lasts a very long time.

Prayers,
:pray:

[Marlana]

That is great Donna. I thought you do the DSMO's monthly too. You must of found a combo that works for you. The best of luck to you.
