Cindy starting to feel better

IC pain 0 (only in the morning about a 1)

She is taking:
Singulair at night for allergy
Lexapro (5 milligram) - the lowest possible for stress

She is also taking Juice Plus vegetable, and wheatgrass as supplements for her diet in the mornings.

The horrible pain that Cindy was having was the result of a UTI. She had it treated with Macrobid, and that fixed it. Unfortunately for 2 weeks she thought it was the IC and let it go for an "incredible" long time. She is finally recuperating. She is not a 100 percent, but definetely. From now on we will always check to see if it an UTI. The are quick tests at CVS.

One important thing: This last Sunday she was so stressed because one of the girls was upset that she did not sleep most of the night. Next day she had a cold sore, aches, and fatigue. There is no question that stress has a direct impact on Cindy's health. She is now more aware of this, and will keep under control. We also know that the IC has something to do with stress which lower the immune system.

We found Cindy's Issue

Severe UTI

Pain level 6

On Friday I took Cindy to the doctor and she her at 1:15 PM. The doctor indicated that she a severe UTI and could not understand why Cindy has come to see her before. The UTI probably started week and a half ago.

She prescribid macrobid for 7 days, 2 times a day. Today is Sunday morning and she still has pain. It is possible that the UTI irritated the bladdre as well.

She is taking:

Singulair at night
Birth control (changed)
hydrocodene for pain

Sunday - Cindy cries from Pain

Tuesday, March 2nd, Cindy bought some wine coolers and had one before going to bed. Wednesday morning she woke up with pain.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday she was with low pain. On Friday morning, she prepared herself hot chocolate. Friday she went out with a friend and kids, and she was with low pain. Saturday she was not perfect, but was able to drive around.

This morning she woke up, and was doing ok (not perfect), but then starting doing laundry and lifting things, and it send her into pain level 10. She is now lying down, and doing ok.

About a month ago she also had severe pain. I had to call my Mom to see if she could take care of her. I need to find out what triggered it.

She took urelle in the morning. She is going completely Spartan.
