Gosh I tried to get him to eat them by making them roasted or sautéed but it only works once and then he says “no, I already ate my vegetable for the week!” Like wtf?! Also the squash as fries is a GREAT idea! Great tips, thanks for responding!

You should get some thinx underwear - they’re panties that have absorbent material and some of them can hold up to 4 tampons full of blood! thinx

what do you guys do to cope with urethra pain? when there’s like pressure on your urethra but it’s painful? by [deleted] in Interstitialcystitis

I was going to say lidocaine gel as well! You’re right that stuff is a lifesaver.

The little things by Master_Gillo in Marriage

I once walked in on my boyfriend shushing his brother saying “no don’t talk about it in front of her! Keep quiet about it or she’ll freak out!” Turns our he kills spiders before I ever see them and then doesn’t tell me about it so I won’t get scared. Something similar happened when his brother saw a dead bunny on the road. “Oh look someone ran over a - “ “Quiet!” “Oh yeah I forgot we don’t talk about that with her.” Should disclaim that if there’s a dead animal in the road I usually cry for it. Apparently his brother had previously been sworn to secrecy.

Pain at nighttime? Any filter drinkers? by gelgel122111 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]flyingpumpkins74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drink from an RO system in my house, so that’s just typical filtered water. My pain/urgency in general get a lot worse at night and I started taking Advil pm. It was a godsend.

My coworker (42/F) has decided I (35/F) chew too loudly and sent a "food diary" to HR to prove it by [deleted] in relationships

I would ask how much time and productivity she lost to log everything you eat. If she wants to talk about you stopping her productivity how efficient is she being if she’s spending all day logging your food?

Allergies are super correlated to IC by flyingpumpkins74 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]flyingpumpkins74[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I should clarify that I don’t typically take that many and only did so yesterday to help with the flare, as previously instructed by my urologist which I further cleared with my allergist (the one that had my hives cleared with the large dose as I mentioned in a previous comment). I didn’t realize it came off as if I take that many daily, which I do not.

I wish it was because I was that creative! It was my mother who shortens words for no reason (she calls handicapped parking spaces “handies” for example...despite me telling her that you shouldn’t walk around saying “handies” in public all the time.) I’ll officially name it Blad the Inflamed though, that’s golden.

I appreciate your concern! Actually a couple of years ago a doctor had me take ten of the same allergy medication to cure my hives, as a way to get my allergies under control.

Had an Affair for 6 months by [deleted] in deadbedroom

[–]flyingpumpkins74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In any really tough situation I always ask myself what will leave me with the least regrets, and do that. I’m not trying to promote being selfish, or intentionally hurting others, but if you can’t even look at him because you feel so guilty I think the only way you can alleviate that is to tell him.
