Good Thing Kix Cereal Has No Preservatives...

The appointment went well on Thursday. The doctor did not give a definite diagnosis yet but he did say that he thinks it is probably interstitial cystitis (IC). I hate putting bladder stuff on my blog so sorry to gross you out. You can just check out that link if you are interested, or not, depending on how much information you actually wanted to know...

They did an MRI on Thursday too. They are also going to do a cystoscopy on May 30th. So I am very glad he is trying something. I am definitely up for trying something rather than doing nothing.

The thing about IC (if that is what I have) is that changing your diet can really help your symptoms. I'm not going to list everything they suggest avoiding, but it's definitely going to be different. My parents and I figured we might as well try it to see if it helps. My mom has been great. Seriously. I find recipes that are "IC-Friendly" on the internet, print them out, and then she heads to the grocery store and hunts for all the crazy preservative-free foods that she can use to make me really delicious stuff (that was a long sentence...Too lazy to try and tackle restructuring that, but hopefully you get the point).

That's about all I have for now. Everyone has seriously been great. Thank you, friends and family, for your prayers and for helping to keep my spirits up! :)

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end--
Because I am GOD, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior."
-Isaiah 43:1ish-3ish (The Message)
