Hey Girls,
again I have to reach out to you because I am really not doing well at all. I just don´t know what it is that keeps bothering my bladder. I started the diet 1 month ago and I thought it was helping me. But approx. 2 weeks ago I moved to my parents house and since that time my symptoms are gradually getting worse. I just had my period and I thought I would get better afterwards, but I´m not. The urgency is way up and my bladder is burning like hell. This morning I even took something like a tranquilizer so I could at least sleep for a few hours. And when I woke up I almost passed out in the bathroom.
Its just freaking me out. Could it be something in the house or the stuff that my mom uses to wash my clothes? Now I put everything in the washing machine without anything. I hope it will help. I also started drinking Evian one week ago. I´ve read that it bothers some people. Yesterday I went back to my old water, a cheap one from the supermarket.
I don´t know what to do anymore. I just wanna get out of my body and be released from this awful urgency. I cannot concentrate on nothing anymore. Even writing this email is difficult. And I have to fly all the way from Germany. Don´t know how I´m going to manage this when I´m in so much pain.
Or is it just my fear thats causing all these symptoms?
Please give me some support here. I cannot take this anymore.
I'm not sure what it is that
I'm not sure what it is that could be triggering you, but I know you'll figure it out!!!
It is so scary to think that it may be the place that you are living or some change around the house situation, but not sure what, I have been there before!!
It may not even be the house at all, but just your monthly cycle! I have ups and downs according to my cycle and it is actually worse AFTER my period....I think it is because everything is a bit more dry and my body responds well to moistening herbs.
washing your clothes with nothing is actually a great idea. I use arm and hammer for sensitive skin, and I rinse it about three times in the wash , especially if it's undies or boxers :) . I know it's technically a bit extreme, but honestly I think it helps.
Evian bothers me for sure. I'm not sure what kind of water you have aroud there, but I'm sure that Mattia or other patients can help you find one that works for you.
Stress also makes it worse for me for SURE...I have found that I can bring on or make pain lessen according to what I"m thinking , but of course this is not the answer for everything because it is not all in our minds, it is our bodies too telling us stuff that is happening. It is a component though for sure :)
Just know that you WILL figure it out, and you WILL be okay. It may take time, but you will get there.
When is your appointment with Mattia?? You can make it there!!! It was a relief to finally get there for me, I know you'll feel the same.
Much love
I will have my appointment
I will have my appointment May 22. I hope its my hormones, but I´m flaring since 1 week now. It´s so scary. I would flare before I lived with my parents, but only a few times. I had more good days than bad days. Now its just bad.
((hugs)) annika. I am still
((hugs)) annika. I am still up and down too from my reaction to acne cream.
Could you put any attention you can to finding the right water? Evian bothered me early in treatment too!! I think you need to find a better water.
ARe you putting anything on face or body? Are your parents using any cleaning products around the house? Are you using any essential oils? (those are NOT good at this point). Are you washing dishes without gloves? Soaps can flare you.
Keep careful notes on your symptoms to see if you can see any patterns. Work hard to find an approved water (can you post or call the office to ask for a reference in germany that can help you?)
If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
You can tray a water called
You can tray a water called Bezoya it's the best spanish water maybe in germany they sell it too.
Thanks Mimi and Nur, I´m
Thanks Mimi and Nur, I´m doing better today. Probably it was a mixture of hormons and anxiety. You´ll never know. I try to go with the flow. :)
