When I was having bladder urgency and frequency, a male military doc who was a Mormon (he tried to proselytize me so that's how I knew) told me my symptoms were all in my head and entered that into the computer system (functional somatic syndrome) which has in some cases impeded my care.

I want to say a big Eff You to that doc. Yeah it was all in my head....and my spine too

So yeah I'm glad to have proof....

And whatever happens, happens. I have CKD too so I may not be able to take any nephrotoxic medicine but interferons should be okay.

I have been having bad spells for awhile now, they are getting closer together so...yeah I'm glad to just start the treatment. I also want a walker for a bit because I keep falling. Last week after the MRI, I fell into the car door and busted my lip open (ouch!)

Thanks you guys for all the support, I feel better!
