Written description:
I have suffered from cystitis in a few episodes in my life. Specifically I was at home in Italy and I happened to be in pain. It was not a sharp pain but I had a strong feeling of discomfort. I contacted the doctor and he suggested I take the antibiotic (Monuril) before bedtime and blueberry supplements for an extended period of time. I noticed that diet impacts my physical condition a lot. For example, intake of too much coffee (e.g., American Coffee) and fried foods do not help. I also do not usually hydrate and I know that this is something I should pay attention to.

Oral description:
“I had one time cystitis, so I had one experience. I started with the cube, the wood cube to represent the weigh so the pain of peeing and I associate the ball [sphere] for timing, so the urgency to go to the bathroom, so it is biggest one. And the time that is not that urgent, it's happened the time that the feeling advanced it went away, so it didn't become a cystitis. It's out, but I have also put over the ball so, the idea of the need of peeing, the triangle to represent the anxious. So the pattern and the texture, because when you need to pee, sometimes you just start to be anxious because you don't want to feel the pain. I’ve also associated the wood for the pain in general, so there's more cube is for durability for suffering of cramping and the triangle is also for lower abdominal cramp. Also the orientation and the position that all the angles of the triangle can represent the pain of the situation. That’s it.”
