So I am having a lot of increase in burning and it's kept me up all night. I haven't had this in a long time. It's very hard to cope and none of my usual stratigies are working. I am just laying here alone and in pain. I would love to hear some flair coping tips besides a heating or ice pad.
I am trying to say my daily afermations but it's very hard at this level to stay positive. 
Yes, I had a muscle twitch in my leg 24 hours a day that lasted 4 weeks, it was so annoying. No amount of stretching seemed to help. I have also experienced eye twitching that has lasted for a couple weeks at a time. I haven't had the leg twitch for a long time, I still get the occasional eye twitch but it only lasts for a couple of hours. Like Matia says in her post today, all these weird little symptoms are connected. I truly did feel like my body was falling apart, the good news is that you will get better.

Thank you for your reply. It sure does feel like your body is falling apart but it is so encouraging to hear from others that it can get better with work. It is so funny to read Matia's posts sometimes because it feels like she is reading my mind. I guess it is because of her many years of experience.

Hey ladies. Glad I'm not the only one with the eye thing. Pretty strange. Thanks for the support!
Ok. Does anyone else have this weirdo eye thing? It is soo annoying, and I would like to know that I'm not completely crazy. Its like for a few days I couldnt focus my eyes, plus I have a pounding head ache (thats on and off but mostly ON, and I of course then, assume I'm dying. (Gotta love IC induced hypochondria).
Besides my bladder, my eyes have been a real concern for me. You are not alone. According to Matia a fair amount of us have issues with the eyes. It is one of the areas that I obsess and worry about. It does help to know others have similar symptoms and also to know that they have seen improvements. It is so easy to think the worst. Just trust that this will pass. All the best. Kriste
Kristi - My eyes were the first thing that indicated something was really amiss with my body. My epithilium (top layer of eye tissue)would tear (not tear like cry, tear like rip) every night. This went on for a year before I began to have symptoms with my bladder. When I first saw Matia, she said my bladder problem and eye problem were one in the same. I couldn't even grasp this (western medicine). After just a couple of weeks on the diet and with the herbs, my eye stopped tearing (ripping) but it took almost a year before I was sypmtom free in regard to my bladder. I don't know how far into the program you are, but it takes time to repair. I am living a normal life now and am able to function. I could not even go to the grocery store during the height of my IC. The only thing I struggle with now is just being tired. Tammera
Don't think your alone here I think all of us have been there at one time or another. My head is always an issue for me and i feel like I am going insane most of the time if that mekes you feel anybetter. There is usually a real reason some area your body needs healing cleansing nurishing . Hang in there
((hugs))

Hi Nicole
I'm sorry not to have tricks for you... When the pain is too much, I just take paracetamol (tylenol) and that is unfortunately not a trick :(
What I wanted to say is that I'm thinking of you, sending you strenght and I hope that you will feel good soon. You are not alone in this.

Just wondering if others have experienced muscle spasms throughout different parts of their body? A while back I had a lot of spasms from head to toe now every so often and less but still annoying. Today my hand won't stop. I have been to Neurologist and had all kinds of tests and scans with nothing wrong. I am assuming it is yet another symptom of this condition.
