On A Serious Note....

I am sorry I have been gone for the last week. I have not been feeling very well. This last week has been really rough for me. Since this blog is about my life, and the good and the bad... This post will be intense... 

My IC has been really crazy on top of a new medication for it that is making me sicker than a pregnant lady in the first trimester. I am finally getting a nausea medicine  that will hopefully help with the the fact I don't want to eat, and when I do,  I get sick. 

I am going to just lay it all out here, not because I have to, but because I can and I have nothing to hide. 

I am 23 years old and now on a medicine that chemically induce's you into menopause. I have the body of a young  old woman, and the mind of a young confused person... 

The sad part is I have been on it for the last two months. Its not working so they are increasing my dose the day after Christmas. I am on the medicine because it is suppose to help with my IC and to help determine if all the problems are strictly IC or to see if I could potentially have other issues going on as well. 

So far I have been feeling okay except really nauseous and sore like I got hit by a freight train... No joke. 

About a week ago I started noticing signs of a infection, I went in to the doctor and sure enough I am battling everything else now with a kidney and a bladder infection. The medicine they gave me for this is making the nauseous train ten times worse. At one point this week all I ate for the whole day was a single hard boiled egg and still felt sick... I know not the best diet but, its better than eating and feeling ten times worse than you do. 

All I can say is, Interstitial Cystitis really does suck....

Seriously... I know its selfish to ask...But PLEASE?

Okay so I will stop ranting, I guess my point that I am trying to say is that I know its the holiday season, but everyone has things going on, and this time a year is rough on people who have lost loved ones, or aren't feeling good, or just don't have family to celebrate. So try to go that extra smile and tell people Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday's or even just smile... Ya never know It may make their day! 

I am hoping I can ask all of you to keep me in your thoughts and prayers as we go through the holiday festivites, cause well lets face it, I hurt to walk and eat and move now as it is, let alone dealing with the stress as it gets closer.  The Man and I will be doing 3 Christmas's on Christmas day, and a total of 5 before the week is over.
