I think it is very common to experience worse symptoms while the body is cleansing.  It can be frightening at times just wondering what is going on.  While I have not had the symptoms you are describing, I have had some strange ones of my own throughout treatment.  If you are concerned, you should e-mail Matia and tell her what is going on.  It will help to alleviate your fears.  You have to believe that you will get well.  It will take some time to rebalance your body.  Hang in there.

I feel like what you have described is definately symptoms that I have seen posted or heard of- so many cleansing symtoms are very disturbing- inflammation of the groin and legs being common for sure-but the good news is your body is reacting that way because it is releasing alot of toxic build up from whatever exposure or imabalence is in your body. You are not "getting worse" its our old friend die off. Still check with Matia to be sure.  It sounds terribly uncomforatable! I know that we should not have to feel worse to get better but alot of times that can happen even though Matia tries her best to minimize that. I had days and days of total surrender to the pain. I thought it would never go away. It hasn't left totally but I had agreat week. I also noticed that even though I knew I was about to start my cycle  yesterday- it caught me off gaurd and I'm like "hey I got period !" no warning at all- I had no mood swings or depression this week! PMS is better! anyway try to imagine what is probably happening- when we rebalence the body the first thing we do is cleanse it and since the body is brilliant at storing stuff in different places and then there's yeast in our pelvis and all around our GI tract and its being killed off and it hurts. Its deep in our tissues and the stuff it releases is hell on the sensitive nerve packed areas! So you may be feeling like crap[ but you aren't going to always feel like this- on the really bad days I would focus on the positive aspect of the "worseness" and think of all the stuff we accumulate in our lifetime of toxic stuff in our envirnment and all the crap food I had ever  put in my bodyand all the chemicals and hormones and other stuff and imagined how the body is handling releasing it through the different systems. right now all that stuff is probably kicking up inflammation- sometimes Matia will know that my body is ready for a blast of cleansing and sometimes we are soothing and calming things and nourishing  certain organs to make them ready to be able to handle more cleansing and other times again we are hitting the yeast hard! Its a back and forth dance. I would still email Matia when stuff like that happens-just to touch base and double check as you know I'm no doctor but  it actually may be an uncomfortable but very positive sign. So don't be scared - know it will pass eventually- maybe 24 hours from now maybe a month from now but it will lessen - it may even come back - but it will go away again. I have had some terrible weeks, and months in the beginning where I thought I was going to die from pain and discomfort. Usually I got at aleast a little window of releif now and then but I feel like in the beginning I was pretty uncomfortable and dealt with a level of burning/pain consistantly.I think at 6 months I first started seeing little improvements and started having a few good days. You are are still sooo early in treatment and those first 6-8 months  of rme were truly truly aweful. You are improving beleive it or notbut the results ( feelingbetter) won't manefest for a while. Yes. many have and will beat these conditions. DO NOT THINK YOU ARE AN EXCEPTION. DO NOT GIVE UP> that goes to all of you. Shout outs to everyone who is having a bad day. I'm having a slightly crappy day bladder wise being the first day of my period but I still have not reached for any cramp medicine and  tomorrow will be better.  Please everyone have patience. I know one day of this pain feels like an eternity. I think that one year is too soon to be expect to be totally well. some people do get better in one year but I'm starting to think that is for mild IC cases and for most of us who were pretty desperate enough to try something off the beaten IC/vulvadynia/endometriosis path like this protical we must have been sick for quite some time or on our way to unwellness. Please everyone give your body some time to process what took years and years to collapse. the body is always trying to get back to balence I think and this program is great on getting your systems to a point of being able to do what it needs to do. Keep pushing through it- do everything to the letter. check to make sure you aren't reacting to a food or a rogue ingredient. check your environement for sensitivity inducing chemicals, mold, odors-. I'm thinking how  this is a lifelong treatment truly- even once your "well" we will all have to be vigilent to keep our systems strong. but just know that all your cumulative efforts will add up to feeling better and that better days are ahead. sending healing vibes and thoughts. Mary
