Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I have to get this out of my system. I am so fucking tired of being ill that I want to scream. My Interstital Cystitis is kicking my ass, and my life is suffering for it. It hurts too much to go to work. It hurts too much to go have fun. It hurts too much to think. And it's not going anywhere

Sounds horrid.  How does insurance work with this?  Are there natural alternatives?

[beccavox]

Insurance will cover doctor visits and medication. I was in physical therapy, which really helped, but insurance won't cover more than three months of visits. I can still do some of the exercises at home, but it's not quite working as well. Diet is also a factor; I've discovered that tomatoes are food I need to avoid (and they are my favorite thing ever). I'm still playing around with foods to see what might be a trigger and what's safe.

I'm feeling a bit better than when I posted this. I think I just had to scream for a bit so I could start over. :)

How are you? I know you had some health issues earlier this year. I hope all is going well. I love following all your travels on Facebook, but 'talking' there isn't as easy!
