had my cystoscopy done yesterday at the hospital , i knew i was starting to flare so just had my tablets and plodded on as we do . the urologist said it was overactive bladder syndrome . so fm has something else to go with it , i can be friends with my ibs aswell. i have started taking vesicare this morning and then up the dose in two weeks , vesicare are used to reduce the activity of an overactive bladder . so ill see how the tablets go . tom i have an xray on kidneys , its only 5 minutes away and a friend is taking me hopefully im not as sore tommorow and my legs are burning alot . in april i have a scan on bladder so hopefully for now thats it , tired of hospitals lol . well better go and see how my son is the morning and take him some breakfast , all my love and hugs to everyone xxxxx
Hi angie! I am sure you ARE tired of hospitals, but I am glad that you and your son are being cared for, that they are taking a good look at your urinary and digestive tracts, hopefully they can better help you now!
I'm also glad that a friend is taking you today, it is less stress when you are taken by someone who cares! My husband is taking me to the Rheum today, so glad, that way I can take something for the pain of the ride!
Stay strong angie, we are all pulling for you, girl!
Love and hugs,
SK
Keep on keepin' on angie. Glad you are working toward getting answers. It's so exhausting having G.I. and urinary problems. I hope you are getting some relief from your medications.

Sounds like you were a trooper through it all! Good job. No one wants or needs new symptoms or old ones to flare up, but it looks like you are getting good care. That is SO important! Hoping you didn’t flare up too bad that the Easter bunny can’t hide those eggs 
Happy Easter to you and your family. hugs~ Sandi

My body is flareing at the moment again but I expected it to , as the last couple of week have been busy , I hope everyone enjoys there easter and pain gives us a loiitle break , all my love angie xxxx
Hi Angie,
You sound like you could use a few days of R&R, but that seldom works out, I know!
I'm not even doing a holiday dinner, with having the baby for days, then the Rheumatologist trip, next week I'll have the 11 year old all week. I just could not do it, I just knew I would not have the strength! I'm up for a fix yourself a sandwich day! ha! that sounds like a good Easter to me right now!
Hope the meds help you to feel better, was talking to a lady at the Rheumatologist who takes this, she said it really helped her, especially at night, that it was nice to be able to get better sleep instead of being in the bathroom 15 times a night!
Hope all goes well with your son, hopefully he will allow this to heal properly!
Wishing you well,
SK
Best of luck with the upcoming tests. I try to remember that after each test, that is 1 more answer or ruled out condition and 1 less test I have to do. Hugs to your friend for taking you tomorrow. Good friends are such a blessing.

Hi Angie,
I’m so glad the cysto went well !!! Sounds like you did great
Do something nice for yourself now… A massage, pedicure, manicure, yoga … Just anything to de-stress…
Hugs & blessings
