Hi all, Okay I am finally attempting another post. For a month now I have not been able to post because every time I try it is flagged as spam. The tech guy hasn’t been able to figure out what is going on. In any case hopefully this time it works and I apologize to those who this may be a repeat for if I messaged you thru facebook. Boaz has me on list 2, taking RP 2 a day, and superdophilus 1 a day.  I do think that much of my symptoms which is primarily urgency has a lot to do with hormones. I started really struggling after becoming pregnant and now 2 months after giving birth my urgency hasn’t died down much which has been quite frustrating. Another thing is that I went to my OB for my follow up apt and she said everything looks good and gave me the go ahead to have intercourse. Each time my fiancé and try it doesn’t work. I do not experience horrible pain but it is painful, the only way I can think to describe it would be that the muscles/pelvic floor is extremely tight in which penetration is nearly impossible. A few years back I used to go to physical therapy and was told that I had tight pelvic muscles but never had an issue with sex until now after the birth of my daughter so I am not sure what exactly is going on. Of course I will bring this up with Boaz but in the meantime am wondering if anyone has any insight into this. I am also having bad low back pain and in my hips. I feel that all the good I am doing is not helping, I never have any die off symptoms, rather I feel worse and worse every day.

My pelvis felt totally weird after labor and delivery. for a solid six months at least. Lots happened down there! I would not worry about it for a few more months and if it is still an issue then see a PT. 

For some people the first months of treatment are beyond aweful. And you have hormones on top of it. All I can say is give it a few more months before you decide it is not working. Hang in there!!!!

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.

Thanks for the encouragmant! I know hormones have a lot to do with it, I just wish I could feel better. Along with the urgency I have a lot of vaginal itching/irritation, not sure if its yeast, sometimes feels like a uti, bladder is just always aching :(
