Beauty for Ashes

It seems several months have past since my last update. Usually, if I go for a long time without writing, it means nothing much has changed. After several months of physical therapy and many visits to the chiropractor, I am pretty much status quo. I still pray for a day that I may be symptom free, but for now, I live each day with hope and faith that God is giving beauty for these ashes.

Hi Jenny sorry to hear about the Vertigo. Jenny have you been tested for Lupus or I should say have you had your bloodwork to check your ANA to see if you have autoimmune going on?

Veritgo can be just that but it can also be associated with AI disease and the fact that you have IC is an indication that you have AI anyway.

Oh I also wanted to say that if I where you I would still post about feeling the same....! It helps you and helps other to hear your story, your day if you will.

I mean there are days that I write IC sucks and I hate my life and there are days that I am feeling great and want to save everyone..........

this disease is ugly but at the same time it really teaches you how to give and how to be grateful.

Who would have ever thought that I would have days that I am grateful to now have peed a hundred.

Have you tried diazepam suppositories and intraurethral gel compounds? They don't offer any cure, but they help the burning pee thing a whole bunch :)!
