I ended up at the urologist today... I was hurting so bad that I called and begged them to work me in. After a couple of tests on my bladder, I have a diagnosis... interstitial cystitis. It is the inflammation of the bladder lining. God was definitely watching over me. I was supposed to see the dr. later in Aug., but the only person available today was the nurse practitioner. Her specialty happens to be IC. She was so nice. We are going to meet again on the 25th to decide what my treatment options are. Please pray for me. It hurts so much. She did give me some medicine today to calm my bladder. Also, I'm going to try some diet changes. Can you believe that cranberry juice is one of the biggest problems with IC? I had always been told to drink it for your urinary system.
Anyway - I would love to have your prayers!

Andrea, after I had Karlee they thought I might have had that. I was in so much pain. They told me then that if cranberry juice was making it worse that it was probably IC. Its weird how the 2 things can have similar symptoms, but require totally different treatments. I will keep you in my prayers. I struggled for about 2 years with constant infections (including a kidney one that landed me in the hospital). You are fortunate to have gotten in to see someone so soon. I know that is going to keep the problem from worsening!
Praying for you to have relief and Praising GOD that you were able to see this lady who "specializes" in this problem. Now thats GOD working!!! God bless you!!!
Hope you are are feeling well. Good luck at school. Are you ready?
