1/20/13

Hi!

Well today, I did go to the gym... unfortunately I only did about twenty minutes of cardio because I was just feeling spent. Usually if I make it to the gym I do better but today I wasn't feeling well at all and my interstitial cystitis was flaring.

The anti depressant I take for the IC has a side effect of making me irritated and angry. I am also out of it, and I need to go to RiteAID tomorrow and get my new ones - which are a stronger dose. I have always hated taking mood altering medications... just taking the birth control is already frustrating for me, but I do that every day because the alternative is MUCH WORSE. I will continue to take my IC medication for a few months but if the bad moods that come with it don't subside, I need to have a serious conversation with my doctor about whether the moods are worth the pain relief.

I ate heathy foods today... I really love oatmeal! It is very warming in the winter. Also we finished the delicious beet and carrot sauce that Derek made for me because I can't have tomatoes anymore. Yay!

That's my check in... have a great day

Elizabeth
