Hi guys!

Well, I sure am tired...been awake since around midnight last night. Tried to take a nap and slept about 5 - 10 minutes. I have been having major pain the past several days. Just when you think the pain can't get any worse...it does

Many of you know from my previous posts that I was recently diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. I had what had to be the worst pain attack (down there) over Christmas at my parents house. I saw my urogynocologist yesterday (just love him) and discussed the type of pain I experienced, thought it might be another condition that sometimes goes along with IC. Well, we talked, he examined me and decided that it was not IC or any condition related to it. He feels sure that it is RSD related. As much as I hate hearing that, it makes sense because the type of pain (lightening bolt, electric shock-like) is just like the pains I get elsewhere, only worse. UGHHH! I am so tired of this...I know you guys can relate to this emotion.

I am also getting nervous about my surgery tomorrow to remove both SCS's I cannot take vitamin C because it could cause my IC symptoms to worsen. I just hope all goes well and I don't have RSD spread in my back.

Thanks for listening
Nanc
