Woke up a bit earlier today (10:00 AM). Cindy got up at around 9:00 AM. She had a little pain last night. She took urelle. We think it was the vinegar and tomatoes in the Cuban food.
We had french toast, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. The day was cold, but sunny.

7 Pounds
Pain level morning: 0
Pain level afternoon: 0
Pain level night: 2 (took urelle)
It's been lazy days since Christmas. On Friday, Boxing Day, we went to King of Prussia and shopped a little. Cindy dropped her girls with their dad at noon. I got up out of bed at noon.
We went to Java Joes for breakfast - Cindy had eggs and scrapple.
At night she had cookies and milk.
She had medium pain at night and took urelle. In the morning she was fine. She went to bed much later and was with much more energy than when I found her.
I think the pain was due to the cookies.

Christmas Eve 2008
So...Cindy is doing well with her IC. If she doesn't cheat with food, she will have practically 0 days.
3 weeks ago she had blood tests at her regular IC check up (Dr. Jen from Dr. Kristine Whitmore) Yesterday we got the results and it seems that she is fighting some kind of virus that has made her very weak (Chronic Fatigue). Her defenses are very low. The symptoms are similar to the flu. We also think that her defenses got very low after she took antibiotics for 6 weeks - the skin reaction nightmare from a cream she tried on her face for dry skin. By the way, her skin is perfectly clear and beautiful after she stopped putting stuff on her face. It's amazing how some medications make things worst. Now she only puts vitamin E on her face.
So...yesterday we went to buy a juicer, and we prepared the first immune system booster juice. It has apples, carrots, celery, parsley, wheat grass, and cucumber. It did not taste as bad as we thought it was going to. We hope this will get her defenses up, and get that virus out of her system.
My opinion is that all this IC, fatigue, etc. is autoimmune related and came about from the antibiotics she took when she got several UTI's, and messed her immune system. Now we are going natural to have her own body fight this and get stronger.
She is only taking Singulair, Lexapro (5 milligrams), and vitamins.

Day After Obama Gets Elected
Cindy is doing great with the IC. All last and this week have been 0 pain days. She had a little, little pain when she was driving to the Poconos and she had some ketchup for her fries.
She also got over the rash caused by the Cortizone. Although, she seems to be in remission, I insist that she watches her diet to make sure the remission lasts longer. She has been out of antibiotics (because of the rash) for 2 weeks. She was on antibiotics for 1 month. Hopefully, this helped the IC.
We are definitely thinking that from now own our remedies will be as "natural" as possible.

Back Again with the Blog - Cindy is doing great
Update:
Cindy had a bladder distension August 28th. She had in general being feeling fine with many 0 pain days before the operation. The operation wasn't as horrible as described. The results were that she had moderate IC. Well...we are in October, and if she doesn't cheat horribly, she has no pain. She is definetely in a remission.
One day she had perogies, and she had pain. They are out of the diet.
She had a bite of chocolate poptart, hot chocolate, hazelnut crunch with chocolate in it. She has also tried BBQ sauce. She did fine in all cases.
She stopped taking Elmiron.
She takes singulair, 5 mg lexapro (reduce the stress).

July 27, 2008 - JORGE'S BIRTHDAY!!!
At 12:00AM I was able to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jorge! I wish I could have done this in person, but he's finishing up his project in Mexico City. I know it sounds good that he's "Finishing" a project, but what that means is another one will begin only this time we don't know where? I really miss and love him a lot.
Today I had breakfast at Vicki and Ed's house.
2 Pancakes, 1 Egg, 2 Toast, and Chamomile Tea
I had lunch at home and i had Frosted Mini Wheats
For dinner I had a angel hair pasta with fresh garlic, olive oil, butter, and chicken broth. Yummy! I also had a few shortbread cookies with no preservatives. Only natural flavers. Pepperage Farms.
