Hi All,

Back to the forums, as I was out of town for 2 weeks.

My cause of all this IC, IBS  has been abnormal prolonged stress for like 15+ years (with every second, most fearful/paranoid thoughts one can think of) . I think after being in stress so long, my body eventually gave up. Anyone else who has same sort of probable cause related to extreme stress ?

In what way Dr Brizman sees remissions and does she agrees that bladder lining gets defective which is irreversible. Or its just inflammation that travels from gut to bladder etc. If people get healed of inflammation totally, go into remission, then why they again have flares or relapses ?

In what ways ativan can interfere with the treatment. I would really appreciate if someone can provide more details on this one. Still waiting to go to Matia, as trying to taper of ativan which I am feeling difficult

Wishing good luck to everyone
