Traveling with IC

Oh dear, Blogger has changed formats. Well, it's been awhile. I still have spasms, but nothing like during the winter. Meds and heating pads control it so I can be productive at a desk. Tomorrow I am stepping out of my comfort zone and going to take part in a protest against the War on Women. It's something a college student like me is expected/allowed to do. What do ICers need? Hormonal birth control for flares. What are certain politicians trying to stop? Hormonal birth control. As an ICer I will go and speak for us. I think things should be okay. I'm bringing emergency pack of hand warmers for heating pad substitute, my meds, and a Nintendo DS for the ride. Oh, and water, lots of water. I think I'll be okay with these things. So far on my hour commute to and from school these things have helped me greatly. I also have a wheel chair for dire pain situations. These things make me able to travel. It's not impossible... but it does depend on your state. I don't think I'd have the courage to do this during winter months when I flare up. Or maybe I would considering the importance of this. Glad it's in the summer. Ah, and I've found that the local Planned Parent hood here doesn't require pelvic exams for birth control. This makes my longing for informed consent and my IC happy.
