If you are eating carrots, this is an important thing to read!The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS,etc
..are talking on this website with one another. So, please keep this in mind when you are struggling to find someone who has symptoms like yourself. There are only a very few number of people speaking to one another on this chat site compared to how many people I treat and have treated.
Generally after a person has started to experience the symptoms of IC, sex has already
become unbearable. There are few exceptions to this rule. The vaginal area is usually involved
and if not, penetration affects the bladder so much that it triggers all of the basic symptoms
the person is experiencing with hers or his IC so much that thinking about sex is out of the
question.
Sometime you think to yourself that everyone knows what you know or that everyone thinks in the way that you think.
Please everyone do not forget--when you wipe-DO NOT wipe forward!
When you wash yourself in the shower, wash the vagina first and rectum second then wash your hands. Do not wash your rectum then your vagina.
This seems elementary-but people do things sometimes without really thinking about how easy it is to get an infection in this way.
When you are having sex-also be thoughtful to remember these kinds of rules!
I know this fight from the road of illness to the road of wellness is a difficult one. Struggling
with obstacles outside of our control, outside of our understanding presents a pain and a conflict within ourselves that is difficult at best to overcome and sometimes so overwhelming that
it seems unattainable.
Was a great success. I think we all enjoyed our discussion about health and diet and the
challenges that one faces with this condition. Everyone had wonderful suggestions to share
about their own experiences with the others in the group.
As always, the energy was positive and filled with lots of love and hope and encouragement-
all things that are very important to the human spirit, especially in times of need such as
illness.
I want to thank everyone for their participation and tell each of you how much I enjoy these
meetings:).
