Happy Holidays All!
I was sitting today thinking about last Christmas, and how totally sick and miserable and frustrated I was. I didn't find Matia until April 2009. Cleveland Clinic had sent me away with "antidepressants" for my vulvadynia pain and basically told me IC didn't really exist because it was so difficult to diagnose. I can't believe, eight months later........I am SO, SO much better. Matia said I would move through quickly, and I have. I hardly have any symptoms now, and when I do they are very very mild. I shudder to think where I would be if I hadn't found her. I am rejoicing this year and do not take for granted the days when I am well and symptom free! Matia is truly a blessing...I wish there was something I could do to thank her for how much she has changed my life. Best Wishes to Everyone this Holiday Season and dreams of "being well again" in 2010!
you have no idea how good
you have no idea how good this makes me feel. I have had so many people recommend Cleveland and Mayo clinics and I have read their materials on line and I don't think they offer much. I am a pharmacist and and I have analyzed most of the western meds and I really dont like most of the options. The meds have too many side effects and I prefer not to be sedated. Thanks for this post!!! Wendy

Thank you for sharing. It gives me hope!! I am in a worse spot then ever the past 2 weeks. I stayed on the diet. but I was peeing every 15 minutes at relatives house for christmas, and was miserable! I hoping next year I will be able to go at least 2 hours without peeing at christmas!
Hey Melanie!!!
Happy Holidays to everyone! Melanie, I just want to say how beautiful and wonderful your words are. To have pain and a horrible disease is one thing but to have no help and care for it makes it far worse. Although my path still has a ways to go, I am also extremely grateful to have Matia in my life to guide me to health. Before Matia, noone understood what I was going through and I never got diagnosed correctly, which led to even more suffering. Matia is a blessing to me with her genuine caring and her unique experience. I wish everyone that experiences what we have to are able to find Matia or someone like her that can truly understand and provide the appropriate care.
Thank you for posting
Thank you for posting this!!!My life, my baby, my skin, my hair, pain free periods (when several years ago the pain was so bad, I fainted several times), full 6 or 7 hours of sleep at night without getting up, even my sex life, I can go and on and on. I still have a long way to go, but I am afraid to even think what would happen and where I would be if I didn't find Matia!!!!
