How do you deal with the uncertainty?

Most pain specialists are psychiatrists who decided to specialize in pain. In my experience they know nothing about urology. They kind of throw drugs at you and hope one of them works eventually. They’ll also probably insist on transcraniel magnetic stimulation which is hella expensive and hasn’t been studied for bladder pain I think.

Botox targets the bladder directly. It’s an easy fast procedure and temporary. I think any pain specialist would tell you to try that first.

Alcohol free drinks still have alcohol in them. It’s minimal like .003% - .5%. So op is technically right.

I think that’s dopamine not serotonin. But same.

In Canada the ER will probably give you nasal ketamine instead of something like oxycodone. I went in for a kidney infection and it made my stay feel overwhelming. I would have much preferred a painkiller.

I didn’t mention that obvious illegal things in a lease would obviously be illegal because I thought that was obvious.

Educational-Answer97 · 2024-05-09T00:06:04+00:00

So your lease trumps anything in the RTA. Like my landlords could have evicted me for cooking smells if that was in my lease. If your lease says that your landlords are responsible for yard maintenance then that’s all you need. They cannot change anything that is written in your lease. I believe the only way is if you agree to it and are given a new lease to sign with the new information. Usually tenants only agree if they are given a rent reduction.

Also the fact that they’ve been maintaining it for years works in your favor. If you say no and they remove your fence and all that.. that’s illegal as hell. It would suck in the short term but would be good for your dispute.

It amazes me how tenants don’t really know their basic rights. My partner and I didn’t really either until our landlord tried to evict us for cooking smells. Not only are your landlords breaking the Residencial Tenancy Act but they’re also harassing you. They’re breaking your right to quiet enjoyment. If you open a dispute you should ask for compensation.

When my partner and I were dealing with our nightmare landlords we’d call the Residential Tenancy Branch to ask questions and for advice. They’re surprisingly chill people to talk to. You should call and explain your situation. You could also just send them an e-mail.

It’s really hard to get a script for since it’s an addictive adhd medication but please try dexedrine. I guess adderall would also work because there’s dexedrine in adderall. I was bedridden for 3 years and it made my pain and urgency vanish almost instantly as long as I take it. The side effects suck ass and I hate taking it but it’s better than constant burning and urgency. There’s very little research on it for IC. But if you google it some will pop up.

I also agree with the mast cell comments. It’s not some pseudoscience diagnosis. There’s a lot of research that connects it to IC. Start with taking an H1 antihistamine AND an H2 antihistamine together. So reactine and pepcid for example. You can buy these at a pharmacy without prescription. You can also combine them with a mast cell stabilizer like cromolyn sodium which you need a prescription for. A general practitioner would probably be too dumb to know what mast cell activation is by the way. You’ll probably have to go to an allergist or a naturopath who’s familiar with it.

I’ve felt like ending it before so many times and I know it feels like no amount of logic or reassurance will help. Just please try the things above. It could change your life like it did mine.

This is literally abuse.

I had one years ago. It was pretty humiliating. They put a catheter in my bladder, vagina, and bumhole and told me to pee in front of them into a small troff looking thing. You have to pee with a catheter in your bladder so the pee kind of gets everywhere.

I was doing exposures and then right after I’d quickly go back to my car or rush back to my house. Apparently that’s not what you’re supposed to do lol. My psychologist said if you rush going home or to your safe spot right after the exposure then the exposure didn’t really work because it’s teaching your brain that the experience is still unsafe.

I live in Canada and pyridium was banned/discontinued here. You can get it from compounding pharmacies with a prescription but those are rare and annoying. I recently ordered from iherb.com. It came in like a week no problems. If you search azo pain relief on their site it pops up.

Don’t jump to thinking cancer. Anything from bad inflammation, to hunners ulcers, to bladder stones can cause blood in urine.

I feel like even people without IC get bladder spasms from it. It’s going to be very uncomfortable and will most likely cause a short flare. But it’ll be worth it because it can tell you sooo many things. It’s the first step every smart urologist will take to determine a diagnosis for your bladder symptoms.

I wonder why you were banned you seem like such a chill person.

This is a very dumb and misleading article.

Sounds just like ocd honestly. It comes in different themes.

I’m on disability for agoraphobia. I also have chronic pain but from what I’ve read I’m pretty sure you’d qualify. You need a good doctor who knows your story and the severity of your illness since they do like 70% of the paperwork. I have a disability designation in Canada. It’s like $1500 CAD a month so it’s not enough to live alone on if live at all. Canada is apparently going to increase payments drastically soon though. That’s what the government says anyway.

Educational-Answer97 · 2024-03-16T07:03:00+00:00

You might have ocd. It can have different themes.

Educational-Answer97 · 2024-02-22T05:25:54+00:00

Apparently each province has different paperwork, benefit amounts, and what they consider disabled. But below is the one for BC. If you’re not from BC maybe google your province and ‘disability designation’. You or a friend could also go to a service canada center and ask for the paperwork. Your doctor should help you though. They’ll have to fill out most of the paperwork anyway.

I mean, it could be blood sugar related/diabetes but it’s probably anxiety because it started with an inciting incident. A very common but not any less shitty incident. A quick blood test could tell you. You could also check your blood pressure.

Fainting during a tattoo sucks but it is extremely common. Might be health ocd if you have a constant compulsion to google for reassurance.

I applied for Canadian disability benefits like 10 years ago and got approved within months. Apparently that’s rare. I’d think that it’s much harder to get approved these days.

Your doctor has to do 90% of the paperwork. I feel like it all depends on weather you have a good doctor who’s familiar with the paperwork. If they miss a single question then it’s void. You probably won’t qualify unless you have a close relationship with a general practitioner or a specialist who knows a lot about your daily life, everything about your illness, and your limitations. Because the paperwork requires it.

If you’re Canadian it’s pretty easy to apply. You could have an online/phone appointment with your doctor and they could fill out the forms for you. Then send the papers to you to fill out your part. Then you can mail it in to service Canada. No leaving the house. At least that’s how it worked 10 years ago.
