hey all. i feel like a broken record, but the yeast is really driving me CRAZY!ive got so many crazy things going on i cant keep up from one to the next. its scaring the crap out of me. no matter how much i take a deep breathe and tell myself its just the die off, i just cant seem to wrap my head around it!my head feels like i have a tumor,my jaw feels like its made of steel its so tight and tense. i feel like im wearing a suit of armor, and i feel like i have a sunburn all over somtimes esp on my thigh and knee, ohh yea and apparently im having a baby since i look six months pregnant lol. but in the midst of all this, i must say my bladder is holding up pretty well. these other symptoms can be just as bad sometimes!its crazy how much toxins we have in us. would love to hear from others who feels crazy by the yeast critters!:)
I can't believe no one is
I can't believe no one is posting here. I think it's all in yoru post I know others have distension bloating, headaches skin sensations and i don't know why know one is writing about it. Don't fret though you will pull out of it. You have gotten better in a short amount of time and you still have more to go but it hasn't been that long so be patient.

I know! feelin CrAZED is an understatement. Doesn't it feel like we are in some kind of olympic training for endurance levels of every imagined symptom of illness? I've felt like there is a maniacal coach standing by and they've got a stop watch and they' re like go! and here you are swimming through pain and cutting hair with a splitting headache and holding a bowling ball in your bladder for hours and hours until you lay down at night which has its own set of challenges. and its crazeeee because the race doesn't end- the stopwatch doesn't click and finishline is sooo faraway! Somtimes I think- ok I've had just about everything but smallpox, ebola,and cholera- can I get my medal now? exageration! I think surviving IC is up there with giving birth in terms of medal of honor awardsand strength building. Be PROUD! we are all really strong for dealing with this without going postal and for many of us who are still working in the midst of our treatment- WOW! pat your self on the back! - this is work even if you aren't working a job. getting well is a fulltime job! I think I might have gotten better sooner if I could have rested all day rather than grit my teeth through a work day while my brainfog was clouding even the simplest directions from my supervisor and I'd be close to tears with frustration feeling like dying and holding back tears while I'm making copies - but I didn't have that option. then are the folks who are Moms and dealing with the stress and work of treatment and IC on top of caring for thier kids and partners. WOW! Much respect and love and warmth to all the Mothers holdin it down and raising families and making these big changes. It's alot of work on many levels and somtimes the resisitance is huge- from ourselves, from our families and children - but even though it does drive you crazy ToreyG it is what it is. It is amazing to realize that die off can be so varied but we are exposed to so many toxic things in our lifetime and they have different affects on our organ systems and get stored in odd places-taking the herbs and following this formula of food is so deeply cleansing the body is making the best of it and going "OKAAAAAAY I'm goin for it!! and shrugging off tons of crap!" as well as killing off all the yeast which can be actually anywhere in the body- the brain, the organ systems- its no joke this systemic yeast! I feel better and better all the time these days and I also feel less crazy cause my symptoms are less werid and scary or just milder and more predictable. It does end I promise. stay hydrated and keep up the good work! peaceMary
thanks guys! i feel a little
thanks guys! i feel a little less crazy now. thanks mary for going all out about the yeast. i dream of the day when all these symptoms are less and less. we all just have to keep plugging away at those stubborn critters!
die off!
Torey- I am right there with you! I have had the craziest assortment of symptoms that most days I feel totally nuts. I have headaches, lower abdominal bloating, random itching on my neck, sensitivity to noise/light/smells, face breakouts (I never used to have skin problems), muscles that want to give up, tears that sometimes come out of nowhere, bouts of real emotional issues, and the latest- earaches that make me feel like I have an infection and then randomly disappear! All of these things are so very frustrating- you are definitely not alone! I was telling Matia on the phone that sometimes it feels imagined, but it's real. But it means things are happening, your body is getting rid of all this crap, so I guess in that sense it's all for the better. I can't wait for it all to improve...
