My Dr suggested i have a device called Interstim installed into my bladder .. there really is no info out there to tell you really about it... i was REALLY skeptical but im glad that i did it... now i can tell the difference between a UTI and my endo pains. Although the procedure was a little scary but in all i'm glad i did it! I have to say i have at least a 75% improvement in pain.. its a little overwhelming at first but its really helped me to understand what its like to go somewhere and not have to look frantically for the toilet before i sit down LOL. and I was able to drive 3 hours with out stopping every 20 mins. (AMAZING).
A typical 20 something gal with major medical complications. Just need a place to vent.. exchange ideas and most of all support! The purpose of this Blog is to let people know these things really do exist and also thanks to a close friend one day it can be turned into a documentary...
