    • About Me

      I'm a 46 year old, married, grandmother of 2 little boys and I drive a school bus which given my physical health at times proves very challenging. My daily strength comes from a strong faith focus on God, during good times and especially bad, without that I'm sure my health issues would take over my life.

    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      Had condition since 1989, had hysterectomy for symptoms not recognised as IC in 1991. Diagnosed with IC in 2001. Lost wonderful urologist to cancer in 2005, after seeing 18 others seeking help. Two nervous breakdowns and 9 different anti-depressants later I'm still fighting this disease. Looking for a good urologist specializing in IC symptoms and treatments in Ottawa, Ontario

      Treatments

      Bladder Distention Somewhat Helpful
      Worked short term but returned within a month with flare up just as bad.
      Elmiron Not Working
      Don't remember side effects but after 4 months little difference in flare up frequency or level of pain
      Pyridium Working / Worked
      Always use this at highest dosage prescribed in combination with other prescribed meds. Takes edge off pain.
      Avelox Working / Worked
      FDA removed Tequin drug of choice seemed to work in my flare ups last 3 years. Cant get it in Canada anymore. Avelox is just working today after 9 days on drug and only 1 pill left.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I would never want to deal with the pain levels and depression I get when worried that I can't get in to see a doctor and if it's not my regular doctor will he write me off as a head case. Out of 18 urologists since 1991, only one took my symptoms seriously, treated me when I had a flare up and that coupled with prayer from others as well as constantly myself I feel a peace within the pain and I don't feel alone with this miserable condition anymore. With His help I can get through anything!!
