I have IBS w/Diarrhea, Vulvar Vestibulitis, recurrent Yeast Infections (comes with V.V. I guess) and Ovarian Cysts...just to name a couple. 22 years old and completely falling apart. Yikes!!!

This week's favorite one-liner:
"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by...
New second favorite:
"And which dwarf are you?."
Adding a third because I'm just so darn easily amused...
"Eagles may soar, but weasels aren't sucked into jet engines."
Current treatments:
-IC diet
-Elavil 20mg at night
-Ditropan 5mg at night
-Continuous use birth control pills (4-5 periods/year)
-Heparin/Marcaine/Sodium Bicarb home instills every night & sometimes in the morning also
-Pyridium if needed, usually once a week or so
-1 Darvocet at bedtime,
-Flexeril 10mg at bedtime
-Dye Free Benadryl for allergies occasionally
-Pelvic floor & myofascial release (external only) physical therapy for 8 weeks, then home exercise program...
-Managing stress
-Fur therapy: Hugging the cat!

Hi,
Along with IC. I have a hiatial hernia, severe endo, asthma and I am anemic.
Someday I really feel that I am falling apart too and I am only 35yrs old.
But I try to keep my chin up and keep going.
