    • Thank you all for your incredible love & support!!! My recovery is going well! 🌻 I will be heading back to CA this Wednesday 🤗💚 ⁣ Back to sharing my journey. I left off after having two laparoscopies, shutting down my periods for 5 years with Lupron injections, being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC), chronic painful bladder syndrome, which was causing such severe pelvic pain & sickness that I became bedridden, losing 40 pounds in a a very short / scary period, & was disabled by my condition. ⁣ ⁣ I spent most of my time in bed curled up in pain along with seeing one of my specialists at least once a day. My IC became more severe after trying bladder installations (medication sent directly to the bladder by catheter). The medication was $200-400 a month with insurance & we had no idea if it would work or not (it didn’t). These treatments flared my bladder terribly. There was a time during the treatment that mg bladder rejected the medication. I ended up uncontrollably & painfully peeing out the medication & urine all over the floor & myself. I remember crying hysterically “I can’t control it”. I was helpless. My mom & the nurse had to make a diaper for me out of paper towels. To this day thinking about that moment hurts. It was so degrading. I had more moments to come if not being able to control when I would pee. I would spend time sitting on the toilet, feeling the need to go but nothing would come out but little drops. The pain & bloating, while trying to release my bladder would make me faint on several occasions on the toilet. After fainting I would be so disoriented that I would curl up on the floor & then all the urine that was held so tight would release. Covering the floor & me. I was in a state of survival at this time. Each day just trying to make it by. Wishing the pain would stop at any cost. I was never suicidal but I did think about how nice it would be just for me to no longer be in pain. At this point my parents were preparing to take me to the Mayo Clinic. But before they did my lead doctor urged my mom & me to go to CO & try medical cannabis ... That’s when my journey took a great leap 🌻 #interstitialcystitisawareness
    • Happy Father’s Day weekend to my amazing & very silly Daddy @steve_munholland 😆💚😘 ⁣ ⁣ Thank you for being such a light in my life. I think back to when I was itty bitty & you would lift me on your shoulders & we would sing our funny song “duke duke duke duke’a’duke”. I think of the of the times as an adult when I was too sick & weak to walk that you would lift me over your shoulder & carry me with the same strength as you did when I was so very little. You are my rock. You are my role model. You have the ability to make me smile & laugh even on my hardest days. I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have you in my life. I know we can get on each other’s nerves but I love you so very much. I hope we continue to be such best friends. I cherish our hours of chatting over the phone (still got to beat our record of 4 hours lol), belting out our favorite classic rock songs (some grunge & metal too 😆), tackling you lol, & just being with you. I got my sense humor from you. My silly side. My living in the moment. My smile. My legs (thank you for my athletic legs btw) 🤣🤣🤣 I know watching me suffer with my health these last 6 years have been terribly hard but know you have helped me make it through it. I’m getting better. I can’t wait for us to take that trip we keep talking about. I love you and I’m very proud to be your daughter. Your “Bobby”. ⁣ ⁣ Now let’s get ready to hit the road in October & have a grand adventure! I promise I’ll let you do some of the driving 😉 ⁣ ⁣ I love you Daddy 😘😘😘😘 ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo⁣ Bob
    • Thank you all for your incredible love & support you have given. It really means so very much to me. I am truly thankful to have a community of people all around the world that helps me feel safe as I share my journey 🙏💚 #InterstitialCystitisAwareness ⁣ ⁣ My recovery from the cystoscopy / hydrodistention surgery is going well. My bladder has had fleeting moments of striking pain. Peeing is also pretty painful. But this is my 6th time having this done so I know these symptoms will eventually pass ☺️ I can’t wait for the anesthesia, antibiotics, & pain meds get out of my system too - I’m such a lightweight lol. Until then I’m resting in bed, light stretching & taking very short walks around the house. ⁣ ⁣ Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a bladder condition that usually consists of multiple symptoms. Most IC patients have recurring pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region, and urinary frequency (needing to go often) and urgency (feeling a strong need to go).⁣ ⁣ IC may also be referred to as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), bladder pain syndrome (BPS), and chronic pelvic pain.⁣ ⁣ There is non-ulcerative IC - 90% of patients have and ulcerative IC - 5 to 10% of patients have, including myself. Ulcerative: 5 to 10% of IC patients have the ulcerative form of IC. These patients usually have Hunner’s ulcers or patches, which are red, bleeding areas on the bladder wall.⁣ ⁣ I’m also among the around 5% of IC patients have persistent symptoms for more than 2 years and 5% of patients have end stage disease defined as very hard bladders with low capacity and terrible pain. Many of these patients also have Hunner’s ulcers.⁣ ⁣ The exact cause of interstitial cystitis (IC) remains a mystery. Many researchers believe a trigger may initially damage the bladder or bladder lining, and ultimately lead to the development of IC. It is thought that this damage to the bladder wall then allows particles in the urine, such as potassium, to leak into the bladder lining. Once these particles get into the bladder lining, they lead to responses such as chronic nerve pain & more damage to the bladder. ⁣ ⁣ IC may have shaped my life & me but it does not define me 💚
    • SAYING FUCK TO CHRONIC PAIN!! #InterstitialCystitisAwareness 💪💚 ⁣ ⁣ Today I had my 6th Cystoscopy / Hydrodistention surgery to treat my Interstitial Cystitis, chronic painful bladder syndrome. Making this the tenth surgery last six years. Hard to believe!! The surgery went very well ☺️ My doctor / surgeon Shea Samara says my bladder looks the best he has seen it these last six years. My first Cystoscopy / Hydrodistention discovered that my bladder was so inflamed with lesions & ulcers from the interstitial cystitis that it looked like meatloaf. Today my bladder looked pretty & pink! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. It’s been a hell of a lot work physically, mentally, & emotionally going through multiple treatments, medications, diets, & integrative medicine. But in the end all the work has been worth it. I will have to continue with these surgeries every 8-12 months for the unseeable future but I’m still keeping my hope alive of new & better treatments ... or even better remission 🙌⁣ ⁣ I’m still pretty woozy from the anesthesia & medications so I’m not yet sure on how long this recovery will be but once I’m feeling more awake I will post an update on how I’m doing 💚 Thank you all for your love & support! #NeverGiveUp #HealthWarrior #ChronicPainAwareness
    • Life is a journey 🌻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My tenth surgery in six years is on Tuesday. I’m slowly starting to come to terms with the fact that I have to have a surgery every year to treat my interstitial cystitis (IC), chronic painful bladder syndrome until there is a new treatment that helps my kind of IC. I’m within the 5-10% of IC patients who has the reoccurring lesions / ulcers. It’s a bit of a hard pill for me to swallow but I’m thankful that that this type of surgery does help treat my bladder condition.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I thought this would be a good time to share my journey for those who do not know it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Six years I became very sick. It started with a large ovarian cyst rupturing & leaving its liquid in my body for a month while another large cyst was hiding behind my right ovary as it twisted my ovarian tubes making blood flow difficult. This went untreated for a month because my general doctors said it was constipation. I eventually ended up in the ER where I was then sent to my leading doctor who immediately scheduled me for a laparoscopy surgery where he removed the complications from the cysts along with removing endometriosis on my uterus. I was bedridden for over a month. Two months later I ended up in the ER for another rupturing cyst. Over the next couple months I kept getting sicker. My lead doctor did another laparoscopy to discover more endometriosis & my appendix rotting. By this time my pelvic pain was unbearable. I begged my doctor for a hysterectomy but he refused (thankfully). Instead to treat my severe overactive hormones, endometriosis, cyst complications, & severe pelvic pain we shut my periods down & placed me a chemically induced menopause state for 5 years with Lupron injections. But my severe pelvic pain continued. That’s when we discovered I had IC. My pain & symptoms were so severe that I lost 40 pounds in a couple months. If you take a look at this picture would you believe that this girl has fought to gain 20 of those pounds back? Take away those 20 pounds & that is where I was at. I could barely walk. My mom helped me bathe. My dad would carry me. My life was spent crumbled in bed in severe pain. I was disabled. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ More of my journey to come 🌻
    • Feeling so pumped for my upcoming travel adventures!! My baby cuz (well he’s 22 yrs old but still will always be my baby) Justin is taking a trip out to California at the end of June 😍 We will for sure be hiking Yosemite along with hoping to get a few hikes in at Sequoia & the Sierra forest while we are at it! Get a few beach days in as well, Griffith observatory, Hollywood, & any other places we can fit in while he visits! I haven’t seen my baby cuz in 5 years since our last road trip so I’m over the moon about us getting to explore again! Then got to checkout Joshua Tree with my LA hiking partner in crime @erindecoursey - both of us are so psyched about visiting there 🌵It’s also looking promising in August that @rachelcheatwood89 & I can keep our pack alive on taking a trip once a year. Looking to explore Nevada, Utah, & Colorado 👣 And get me back to Oklahoma in time to see Hamilton on tour which my friend @erineclemons is starring as Eliza Hamilton 🤩 And with all that my dad @steve_munholland is going to work very hard to get his health back on track & get to a healthy weight so we can finally take a father / daughter cross country road trip. I’m very much rooting for him to reach his goals since I would love for us to spend some quality time together & for him to FINALLY see my home in CA. And then once the weather gets cooler I’m expecting my momma @carolyn_munholland to be able to make her annual trip to visit me in Cali too 🤗 AND hopefully I can finally make it back to New York to visit @chaurley08 & to do some of the touristy stuff I missed out on doing while I was living there but only made time for the conservatory I was attending & also was the time when I first became very sick ... so it will be wonderful to visit where I’m not working or sick to death. But first my annual cystoscopy/hydrodistention surgery on Tuesday, recovering, & getting back the test results from my latest blood work to see what’s going on & what can be done for it. Not letting my fight with my chronic pain & autoimmune diseases bring me down or take away experiences from me. Fuck that! I’m seeing the world no matter what 🗺💚👣 #neverstopfighting #wanderlust

    • LOVE my CBD muscle rub from @vision1naturals !!! Feels so damn good 🥰🌱🙏 My muscles thank me whenever I use the rub 😆💚 PS Also sooooo obsessed with @vision1naturals CBD bath bombs, face mask, face moisturizer, tinctures, & lip balm ... talk about knowing how to spoil a girl 😘 #CBDNirvanaRightHere #VisionNatural #Sponsor
    • Now that I’m in Oklahoma it’s time for me to check in with my amazing medical team 🙏💚 I see my lead doctor tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to - get things on a better track. I’m a bit frustrated with these bouts of terrible fatigue. It’s truly terrifying when you are too exhausted to move & by moving I mean laying in bed unable to lift an arm. I personally believe it has something to do with my hormones since my fatigue flares greatly right before & during my menstrual cycles but I’m still wanting everything checked; vitamin deficiencies, liver & kidney functions, hormone balances, the works. I like to cross things out so I can focus on what is known & what can be done to help better manage the problem. Working with autoimmune diseases is like a very complicated jigsaw puzzle that has been mixed with several other jigsaw puzzles - it’s complicated AF. I’ve also received my third test from @everlywell to check on my food sensitivities to see if my body is having a new autoimmune reaction to one (or more) of the foods I have recently been eating on a daily basis. I’ve also been having dark spots on my forehead appear. Thoughts are that it’s melasma due to hormones & inflammation which can be treated. It’s so important to be the boss of your own health journey. I was such a shy little thing at the beginning of my health journey, feeling to blame & not wanting to inconvenience anyone. That was until my doctors told me that they worked for me. It was empowering. I truly wish everyone could have the type of support & empathy my doctors provide to me. I feel so fortunate to have them. One of my doctors told me that he wished every doctor could just feel a minute of their patients pain so they would never lose empathy & remember what they are working for. My doctors have never stopped fighting for me. And frankly I think they love seeing my take charge side for it shows them I’m invested & not giving up. It’s taken me time to reach this place of confidence & my doctors (& parents) really helped me to get here. I’m not laying down to my health ailments ... no I’m going to run them over until they know who the true boss of my body is. #sayingfucktochronicpain💪🖕
    • Made it to Oklahoma despite what the picture suggest lol 😆🌾🌪💚 The past couple days have truly been rough but being in my home state with with my parents, Poopa (grandpa), friend, & my fur baby Obie is making me beam. And after more than two years dairy free I think my health is at a place where I can finally indulge in some @braumsicecream_dairy ice cream 😆 #OklahomaIceCream I did try some yogurt a couple days ago to make sure my body doesn’t have a bad reaction to the dairy & my body fortunately reacted very well! Can’t wait for my twist cone 😋🍦💚 #homeiswheretheheartis ⁣ ⁣ PC: @nolan.weisser ⁣ Wearing: @onzie ⁣ ⁣ #WeAreYogiWarriors 💪💚
    • Thank you all for your incredible love & support on my last two posts. My family learned yesterday that our l sweet Gizzy passed away from either a slow growing cancer or an autoimmune disease that destroys muscles. He had been sick for awhile but there was no way to know he was sick. He adjusted to the changes in his health & none of us saw anything unusual until three weeks ago when he began limping. He was taken to the vet several times where he received steroid shots which made him feel better & made everyone think he was healing from a recent injury. He had a good last day. He ran outside, enjoyed my parents company, & that evening he passed away in his sleep. I would be lying if I didn’t say my parents & I aren’t heartbroken. He was a gift to us. But we’ve started to be able to share loving & happy memories of our Gizzy which has brought smiles, tears, & laughs. One of our favorites is one Christmas Gizzy was determined to get to the top of the Christmas tree. He kept trying to climb it, knocking down ornaments & being taken out of the tree by one of my parents or myself. After many attempts he decided to try something different. He went across a ledge on the ceiling and stood above the tree & looked down on us. My dad said “he’s not going...” BAM! Gizzy jumped on the very top of the tree landing on his belly, much like a belly flop in the pool. His big eyes staring at us like “well that wasn’t a good idea”, he had the most expressive eyes. He wasn’t hurt from the fall ... I’m pretty sure he tried to again in which case the tree was then placed away from that ceilings ledge because of our brave / crazy kitty. But you know his fierce determination & fearless nature is what made me fall in love with him. When my parents took me to the pound to look at the kittens this one little tuxedo caught my eyes. Only 4 or 5 weeks old climbing up the cage. I fell in love. He had a big brother too, Pele, they became “Da Boys”. I know there is going to be a lot more tears but hopefully more smiles & laughs too. Our fur babies are truly our family. Ready to be home with my parents. One more day. Then we can grieve, comfort, support, & share memories in each other’s arms 💚
