When your new in treatment it can be scary reading some of the posts or stories. Everyone has come from different places with different paths. Some of us will take longer to get there but we all get there eventually. I ask you to have understanding that when your reading peoples posts they will have a different histrory then yours. It might be long term antiboics or born with immune problems even passed down issues from the mother or father. You just don't know.

IC is a scary place to be at first so if your not strong enough to read peoples stories maybe it's not healing for you. It's important to not compare yourself to others because we are all unique we all come from different backgrounds and we all got IC for different reasons. There are some simalar things we share but we are still unique.

It is important to invision youself healthy and not focus on people who are not compleetly healed. Even those of us still in treatment have our accoplishments we can be proud of. Own your little steps and they will give you the drive to keep going. Everyone here can get well I honestly believe that! IC is repairable. Focus on your accompishments no matter how big or how small own them. Live in the now. Every morning and every night I say I AM GETTING BETTER. When i first started I just said it but now I feel my self actually getting better. I AM GETTING BETTER I AM GETTING BETTER. The power of words are very strong. A loving thought can relax your whole body so love yourself and be healed.

Nicole:  Thank you for the amazing post...I have finally committed to treating w/ Matia...made an appt. today and i feel sooo good about it.  After so much indecision about which path to follow, I have come to realize that this is the journey that I was always meant to take...just took me a little longer to realize it.  Anyway, thank you for your words of encouragement...you are one of the people who made me realize that I can get better...
