The birth of New Dawn Pilates...coming soon!

Well, I am still going through the whole UTI/UTI symptoms thing. It's frustrating because the only time it seems to feel better is when I am on an antibiotic. I feel now though that I am pigeon-holed into everyone thinking this is an "IC flare-up." This could be something different. Anyway, I made an appointment with a new doctor at Rush University Medical Center. They have a specific program called the Center for Abdominal and Pelvic Health. I am going to place a lot of emphasis on the fact that this whole thing started after a stupid surgery and that I feel like I keep getting UTI's. Hopefully, this doctor will have some good ideas. On a good note...Tom and I just finished our first DVD entitled "New Dawn Pilates-a pilates inspired workout adapted for people with pelvic pain." We are awaiting a response from the owner for the IC Network to see if she is interested in carrying the DVD. Keep your fingers crossed. We are really excited about this. This is the first of what I hope is many DVDs. From all those who have seen it, we have gotten good reviews.

It's back...

Sadly, this thing that keeps happening to me that feels like a UTI is back again. It feels better when I am taking an antibiotic and worse when I stop. All the tests come back negative but for some reason, continue to respond. I am going back to my physical therapist today to see if she can help the situation any. I have decided that over the next few months I must alter my work schedule. I am really just sort of struggling along right now not getting any better. In fact, my symptoms might be worsening. I decided to seriously think about moving to minnesota and staying with my parents. That is a decision I will hopefully make in the next month or so. I just don't see what other options I have left...
