I'm spasming from the get-go this morning. The Pressure is still 29.99 in but is listed as (falling). It is 71 degrees outside, so like I said, nothing to do with the actual temperature.
EDIT: It is now 61 degrees a few hours later. The pressure actually rose to 30. I'm confused and in ample pain. All I can say is I know it has to do with temperature drops but that's about it.

What is Interstitial Cystitis?
Interstitial Cystitis is the worst bladder infection you've ever had, except no bacteria is present, there is no cure, many foods make it worse, and separate treatments have maybe 1/3 of a chance of helping. The only true "treatment" is treating the pain, as its usually the only thing that will work. Even patients who've had their bladders removed still experience the pain. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it but have many theories.

These are the new guidelines for diagnosing IC. If your doctor isn't using these then I suggest you find a new one who keeps up to date.

Cold Front Incoming
There's a huge cold front coming in. As of right now it is 71 F, and Rainmeter says that in two days it will be 43 F.
Current pressure is at 29.94 in.
I'm doing okay as of right now. I'm off for the next three days thankfully so I can see what happens and what I must decide to do about my work schedule for the rest of the season.

Finals
Felt pretty good yesterday. Today I'm just using heating pad as a caution since I need to study for my first final which is.. tomorrow. I'll just hope my papers were good enough to get me over the hill. Really, they didn't tell us a thing until before Thanksgiving so we were forced to do our papers then (3 classes) and turn it in, and only have 1 week of class, and then finals (2 classes). I'll play a game to wake myself up with for a bit.. have a little fun.. then go lay down and study.

Yay warm
It's warmed up and I've woken without burning. So far I feel like a normal human being today. It feels nice.

Hurting badly
Burning isn't a usual part of my IC, but with the weather its started to constantly burn and when I move the entire thing spasms. I makes me not want to stand. No research has been done on weather and IC, but it really needs to be done. A lot of ICers have extra problems during the cold months.
This would be the thing keeping me from getting a job. My normal pain can usually be ocontrolled, but despite taking valium, oxybutin, and soma it only help slightly. I need to move to the equator or something.. though my cousin said Los Angeles never gets cold or hot.. But like he said, cost of living there is insane.
So I remain tethered to my heating pad. My Grandmother's burial was today and thankfully I made it there during my 4 hour safe period. Look at a few of the grave, saw quite a bit of WWII vets who died in the 70s so they survived the war, but found one that died in '44... so.. he didn't live. There was one Vietnam one who died in the 60s, so I assume he didn't survive that war.. Saddest one was a family plot. Me and my nephew look confused at the graves, because all there was was a line of cement with markers over there. Said nephew assumed we were standing on the bodies when when I looked at their birth/death dates it turns out each one never lived past a year so their bodies fit under the grave markers.
Then I learned through looking at my grandmother's family plot that my pawpaw, her husband, had a first wife and an adopted son, both dead. The son died at 7 years old. mother said from Leukemia. Wife died a month after, mom said it was a blood clot during surgery. I don't understand how that man could keep going after losing his family within two months.
