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 you who have had this much longer. To manage my pain I first gave myself permission to except I have a few things that have no cure and gave it up to the Lord to guide me in the right direction. After excepting what I have I took it upon myself to put trust in someone that has helped me so much since that day. I personally feel that this horrible diseases we all have definitely has a mind body connect because once I rid myself of bad foods, started doing self help techniques, stayed away from medication and relaxed I seem to experience pain due to stress or lack of sleep.
I know everyone has different underlying problems that can be extremely hard on its own and having to add on IC and other pelvic pain disorders. It take commitment and hard work to figure out what is best for each and everyone of us and we can not give up on each other.
I wish you all the best of luck and God bless!

I think you are right on about the mind-body connection, and that God does lead us to better health when we ask Him. I was in a wheel chair and crippled by arthritis, asthma and other things, on 22 meds 5 years ago. Now I am healthy, exercise, go to school, help in my church, and play flute. God led me on this journey out of sickness. I know I won't live forever, but my hope is in God, and I would like to live this life able to contribute to my friends, family, and society in a positive way. I'm glad you are starting to feel better.
What you eat is definitely part of the plan for recovery from any illness!

Stacey ~ I admire your faith and thank you for sharing it. I, too, am learning that God has plans for us, even in these conditions. He teaches me humility - and dependence on Him. Living day to day - kind of like Moses and the dependence he learned in the wilderness. I trust. Nice to meet you here:)

When I feel misunderstood, I now pray "God, You know." When I hurt so much I can't bear it, I pray "God, heal me."
