    • About Me

      25 year old who was diagnosed with IC and endo 2 years ago. I had an abdominal hysterectomy almost a year ago b/c of horrific chronic pelvic pain.Although I've not been healthy throughout my life, I feel like I'm the most blessed person in the world (see the pics on my profile, and you'll see why!)- I look to my husband and 2 year old daughter for strength and happiness. Without either of them, I don't think I'd be able to function as a person. I'm a strong believer in prayer and know God has wonderful healing power!

    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      I am plagued with IC. I've been diagnosed now for 2 years. I know this is what has been ruining my life since I was a child though.

      Treatments

      Bladder Distention Working / Worked
      The first one worked awesome. The second one didn't do so well, it actually made all my pain and spasms worse.
      Elmiron Not Working
      I am unable to take the common dose of 3 times a day b/c the med makes my stomache spasm more and make me feel sick to my stomache
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      Prayer gives you a sense of peace and relaxation, knowing God will not allow it to get to where you can't handle it.
    • Close Hysterectomy

      I'm 24 and am married and have a 2 year old daughter, Kadence. I have been struggling with chronic pelvic pain since I gave birth to her. I've tried many different meds and treatments, nothing has worked. On March 21, 2008 I had an abdominal hyster. taking my cervix, uturus, Left ovary and tube.

    • Open Endometriosis

      Undergone an exploratory surgery last year and it showed I had "like" symptoms of endo. Also this march during my hysterectomy, I had endo which made them take one of my ovaries and tube out.

      Treatments

      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Working / Worked
      Seasonique took the pain away, but gave me horrible migrains so my ob/gyn took me off of them and put me back on Loestrin 24 which took the migrains away, but the pain is back.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      After the surgery, I had tons more energy and a lot less pain, for awhile.
    • Open Bereavement

      13 years ago, my dad passed away with Cancer. He never got to meet any of his 6 grandchildren, including my 1 daughter. I still miss him, I'm 24 and never knew how growing up with a father feels like. I still cry after all these years.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      It lets me relieve emotions.
      Poetry Working / Worked
      I love writing poetry. It helps me get out all the feelings bottled up inside of me.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I always pray that he's watching over me and my family
      Remembering Working / Worked
      We have his army flag, still.
    • Open Fibromyalgia
