Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Support Group

I have been recently digonsed with IC. I have been having a very tough time with it. On top of it I have serious bad headaches non-stop every day. I have also just been dignosed with proctitis. I have had 4 surgeries in the past 2 months. I have missed so much work due to all of this. And I know that they are not happy about it. This is my 3rd that I have been off. I had the prcedure where they blow the bladder up and they aslo lazered a painful spot of my bladder. I was having bleed with I urined and the doctor wanted to see me back. My work sent me a packet to consider having the doctor fill out for short term disability. So I took it to my appointment, I have to travel 2 hours out of town, I talked to the doctor about it, and he told me to leave the forms and they would fill them out and mail them back to me. Well the doctors office called today to verify my address to put them in the mail, I asked if she knew what date the doctor said I could return to work, and he stated they left the dates bank and typed a letter stating my sitiuation. Im wonder if this is going to wor. i will see what the letter says when I get it in the mail which should be tomorrow. I am just hoping that I can get the short term disability and start the long term disability process, but I don't know how its all gonna work.. Is there anyone else out there in this sitution, or have had to file for disability? Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
Beverly
