Ugh... The dreadful Curse

Okay so I may have mentioned in past posts that I am a little healthy except in some areas. This may be in a time where its To Much Info... but ya all should know on the life hapings that are going on.

So in June I got really sick, I thought what just a cold and uti ended up staying forever. Well in September after months of tests, and me feeling like a train wreck the gyno doctor sent me to a Urologist.

Well I have what is called Interstital Cystitis Disease, commonly know as "IC" or  "painful bladder". This has not been easy its where you bladder spasm's, you have to change your diet, and it takes a toll on relationships, families, and etc.

More information can be found at www.ic-network.com

It has made a huge impact on who I am, made me realize that true friends will be there and stand by you through it all. Ham(the boy) has been really good. He has stayed by me when even the doctors are surprised that the pain I have been through that he didn't run and leave.

Now at this point, I am also fighting kidney problems on top of this. Being that my bladder isn't working, my kidneys are either, I have had lots of infections, and now possible kidney stones and failure.

All this piled high on with endo does not help.

Lets just say this last week I have been in so much pain I have cried, not slept, ran fevers, and still done my 40+ hours at work, maintained my relationships with friends, Ham, and family.

I post this not to scare or worry or gross you out. But if you wanna follow me through my life of good, bad, fashion, fun, and good times well I am gonna be blunt and be me!

If you have questions ask, but this is my journey. I hope that maybe this will bring awareness and a little bit of help to what you read.

If I say I'm "vegging" it's probably because of pain. I have always tried to find the positives but I am having a hard time with this one... Its a tough cookie if you know what I mean.

I appreciate you listening and I will catch ya when I am more awake and worth something!
