I'm free from my husband now, but I must admit I feel a tremendous loss. I just wish he could have not been so ragefull and angry all the time, but he refused to seek help. I had to protect myself and my children.
He cut his hair, and I must say he looked really good in court. However, when I got to the house and saw the state it was in and what he took, I knew I did the right thing by leavin...

Today I have had to endure someone attacking my character simply because she disagreed with my opinion. The manner in which this individual did this was particularly enfuriating to me. She didn't address me directly and respectfully state how she disagreed with me. No. She chose to make reference to my post and then insinuate that I was so wrong on everything that she could ...

Hello everyone,
I would like to first start off by saying I hope no one takes this wrong in any way shape or form and I am not placing judgment or pushing anything on anyone. I would like to share my story and what I have been doing to manage my IC, CPP and Vulvodynia pain. I haven't had all of this very long, I would say about 9 or 10 months so I can't and wont try to relate to those of y...3 Comments -

I'm not sure what to do....my pain doctor suggested that I get a series of shots done, all injected into my lower back and the thought of that scares me. Also, he requires all of his patients to see a psychologist, the one that he has. Been there, done that. I don't need to see one, I saw one that I chose a few years ago and it helped a ton but now, I feel that I have the right mindset to...1 Comment -

Today I became accutely aware that everyone I know or have met is obnoxious or eccentric in one way or another. It takes a lot of manoeuvering to connect with them and none seem to make an effort to connect with me. I don't have many friends as a result and need to learn to say, "and that's ok".1 Recommendation1 Comment -

I feel after years of trial and error, experience and humbling experiences I have "insight" and I have a heart felt desire to share that with all of you who are suffering with this debilitating disease. I feel that by not sharing my insight, tools and gift of gratitude would be an act of selfishness.
I use many tools to manage IC/CPP and getting the job done daily can be a struggle and I...1 Recommendation -

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Information
Interstitial Cystitis (commonly abbreviated to "IC") is a urinary bladder disease of unknown cause characterised by pelvic and intense bladder pain, urinary frequency (as often as every 10 minutes), and pain with urination. It is not unusual for patients to experience nocturia and pain with sexual intercourse. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), particularly outside of the USA.
IC affects men and women of all cultures, socioeconomics and ages. Although the disease previously was believed to be a condition of menopausal women, growing numbers of men and women are being diagnosed in their twenties and younger. IC is not a rare condition. Early research suggested that IC prevalence ranged from 1 in 100,000 to 5.1 in 1,000 of the general population. New epidemiological data released in 2006 by Dr. Matt Rosenberg now suggests that up to 12% of women may have early symptoms of IC.
It is not unusual for patients to have been misdiagnosed with a variety of other conditions, including: overactive bladder, urethritis, urethral syndrome, trigonitis, prostatitis and other generic terms used to describe frequency/urgency symptoms in the urinary tract.
