      From TunaMan January 14, 2008

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

    • Close Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      I was diagnosed with IC 2 years ago. went through instillations which did nothing except keep the medical bills coming. im in love with pyridium!! lol. ive found that when i am in pain if i just sit on the toilet and relax, my pain goes away within 45 minutes, and thats without taking any meds. i even do this at work. if anyone has any treatments they have found to work please let me know.

      Treatments

      Macrobid Not Working
      I dont think this drug is strong enough when i have a bladder infection.
      Pyridium Working / Worked
      feels like my body is stating to get used to it, but still helps.
      Elavil Too Soon to Tell
      I am starting Elavil tonight(aug 9th). I have a strong belief and faith that it will work.
      Bladder Instillation Not Working
      these did not work. i went through about 7 or 8 months of them and saw no change. but i guess they do work for some.
    • Close Anxiety

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      i am currently trying to get off of cymbalta. i dont have any side effects. the major downfall of this drug is the withdrawls i have if i miss a dose.
      Paxil Too Soon to Tell
      I start tonight(Aug 9th). i hope it works!!
