Will do Angela, how’s you today? 

A little brighter today Nigel thanks for your care friend . Hoping to feel a bit better each day xx

Hi Nigel,I hope the changes help.When I had Interstitial cystitis I cut out anything citrus,onions and tomatoes as they caused the most bladder pain for me.It is a bit trial and error as what is ok for one person might not work for another.Keeping a record of what you eat and drink can help to pinpoint anything that is causing problems.Good luck with it.Love Jane xx

Hello Rob, sorry to hear you are still having problems sleeping and peeing. Welcome to the old man’s club. I sleep like a baby waking up every two hours and bursting into tears. I had a TURP in 2022 which did increase my flow. However, I have to self Catherine twice a week to keep the water pipe open. Not recommended for young lads like you. I stick to decaffeinated tea and coffee and drink lemon barley water in the mornings and about 1 litre of water whilst playing and after golf. I rarely drink anything after 4pm except of course on Friday- yes Curry night with red wine and maybe a couple of Johnny Walkers. Still get up 2/3 times per night though. Good luck Nigel with your new regime

TYPO ALERT…. Self Catherise not Catherine Doh!

Cheers Jane, I’ve found out today that sourdough bread is a no no for me..and choclate is now on the banned list…just had toast, baked beans and poached egg…see how I go with that…hope your well xx

Cheers Garviv, im on the red bush tea, im starting to see what doesn’t work, and it seems to be most of my favourite foods and junk…im drinking up until I go to bed…I don’t drink enough in the day…back to walking from tomorrow…pain or not…

It’s always the favourite things sadly.I keep coming out in hives so have to be careful what I eat and drink.It’s a pain as food is no longer enjoyable.Best of luck with it.Love Jane x

Thank you Jane…xx
