[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It is. I'm getting spoiled. I wish he could work from home once a week, especially in the lousy winter weather. And we made sure to get out yesterday and Saturday so that the winter claustrophobia wouldn't be so bad today.

That's unfortunate, Hil. I'm sorry.
Askye, I'm glad you were able to get some help for your virus, and I hope you feel better soon.

asKye, so sorry 2015 has not been good for health so far. I've been meaning to come here for a week, because I was recently reminded, through a transgression of my own, that the kind of soap you use in your nether regions can trigger an IC episode. sensitive skin soap, dr. Bronner's soap, scent free soap, nearly all of them have soy lecithin, which I think, but I'm not sure, is the ingredient that's bad. The nurse practitioner at my gynecologist office suggested using Cetaphil, the kind you use on your face, because it's super mild and it's not a soap. And she's right, it does work. I saw upstream that you were wondering about vitamins. I had to look around but I found that Centrum makes one multivitamin that limits itself to a 100% RDA. It seems ok for me. When I said vitamin C was a problem for me, I should have added that upon the recommendation of an uncle decades ago, who was a big fan of the book Life Extension, I'd been taking mega doses of vitamin C ever since, like thousands of milligrams a day. The 100% rda in the Centrum seems to be fine. it's such a p.i.t.a, IC, and sometimes I forget, or try something and it doesn't work. Like, I decided to try the Dr Bronners mild castile soap.Um, nope! I hope your new doctor can help you with installations. At least for me I had four or five installations over about a two or three month period, and then, once I knew how it could help, I went back at different times like three more times for tune ups.I've been pretty much pain free since July of last year now. I think I had maybe 2 years of on off pain.
I'm using voice recognition on the tablet, and I don't think I need to white font that anyway, but it does remind me, is there a way to read white font on a tablet? I only know how to do it when I'm on laptop and I can highlight it with a mouse.

oh and, before this new doctor who just got out of the fellowship, I had a cystoscopy by the regular urologist, a regular surgical procedure. It helped for a while but it came back, in about a year and a half. It might have worked permanently if I had known then what I know now about the foods and vitamins and the soaps. so if your new Doctor offers a cystoscopy and it will be covered by your insurance I say go for it. I think this might be the last info dump I have on dealing with IC, but also, if you do do installations, ask them about the size of the catheter that they use. They had to order smaller ones for me. If I ever have an installation again I'm going to ask them to start using pediatric catheters.
