About Me

- This blog is about coping with the strains of chronic illness whilst bringing up two beautiful children; it's also about the stresses of bringing up two children on your own while suffering with a chronic ongoing health problem which is at times very severe.... you can look at it either way. It's about being a single mum; it's about raising awareness of Interstitial Cystitis; it's about helping me cope. Writing this blog is beginning to bring me back to who I really am, who I really always was, before the single motherhood took over full time, before the illness set in.... a writer. I've always written, from essays to stories to journalism. This is the first thing I've written in years. It's helping me regain my confidence. PLEASE DO LEAVE ME COMMENTS AFTER MY POSTS! I'd genuinely love to hear your views on my (sometimes controversial) opinions. Thank you for taking the time to read. It would be great if you could comment so I know that you've been here and what you think.

Needed: an Norton Anti Virus Tool for my bladder please
Earlier today, my computer was dying.
I was seriously contemplating having to buy a new laptop, after throwing this one out of the window. On top of several other external things that have gone wrong on top of the relentless IC, this was a step too far, in the past 48 hours.
And then I found the wonderful, polite, helpful Bharaswazi R J, on the Norton Chat Support Forum. Somewhere in a huge call centre near Delhi, he settled down to help me.
I had no idea that this feature even existed, but in desperation I 'sat back to let the expert help' (don't have much faith in doing that anymore funnily enough).
I signed over remote control of my computer to this amazing guy and within an hour, he had totally fixed the problem, whilst giving me more reassurance than any urology specialist I've had the misfortune to meet over the past year and a half. He kept telling me 'everything will be fine, madam;' and it was, it was fine, it was fixed.
Why, in 2014, can we fix ailing computers but not ailing bodies?
WHY is more money not being poured into healing our ill internal organs rather than increasing the speed and ease of our internet connection?
It's ridiculous.
Laugh or cry; I feel like screaming.
But at least I've got my computer back again. If only bodies were as easy.

Hope u r ok. Felt really upset as I had written before to say I had lived with this illness for 14 years and u were (quite rightly) horrified that it was an option for your future....They think I got this after my caeserean when having my son. I hope that u won't have to deal with it as long but honestly I was totally able to cope until I was menopausal, lol! Old age is crap. I am having a hard time right now but I keep trying to be hopeful that something will work, it's hard when your bladder becomes a subject of conversation. Everyone has an opinion. It's hard as the lack of privacy is my worst nightmare. I hope u haven't written because u are well and out and about...thinking about u. H xxx
