    Post in remission after 8 years

    I think I may finally be in remission. I still have urgency, and retention, but the pain aspect has significantly decreased. I know I have to use oxycontin, but the 60 mg a day is keeping the pain away. I only wish the dr. would have let me tried it a year ago, it maybe would have prevented a S*** attempt. Oh well. Be grateful for what I have.

    I am so glad you are getting relief. Believe me, I know what you are going through I laid in bed for 4 years from 1992-1996 and the doctors would give me nothing for pain. I think we are some of the bravest women in the world

    Congraduations. From someone who has been in remmission from a disease and then it did end, still be careful, and pay attention to not let it get worse again. (I know those aren't things you want to think about, so keep them in mind, push them in the back and enjoy)
    God Bless You. thanks for sharring hi
    Faith, Hope, and Love,

    I think it's great to hear about remissions. Especially for those newbies who think they might never see the light at the end of a long tunnel. We can lead our lives again.

    Stay painfree for a long time!!
    Tons of support,
