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.

I came across your post while researching for a friend of mine who has IC. I see you mentioned juice plus. Are you still taking it, Has it helped you in anyway? Did you have any reaction to it?
