Emotional stuff

Hello everyone,

I am a patient of Matia since March 2010. I do not have IC but all the health situation/symptoms that I have are very similar to IC beside having bad bladder problems.

Since I have started to treatment, I kind of have emotional stuff going on, deeply. Sometimes, I can not believe how emotional I am and I end up acting weird. I noticed i feel more emotional when I am on SF722 but generally feel deeper than before after treatment. I am not sure if this is about die off or sth else. I wonder if its very common among everyone. and how you deal with that?

Thank you

Hello - not sure that my emotions were tied to sf722 when I was on it - had those problems before and after.  Sometimes I've been scared, sometime happy, sometimes in a complete rage.  HOWEVER, after six months killing the yeast, my emotions have started to settle down a bit.  So, hang in there!
Best Wishes,
Denise

I have struggled during treatment with LOTS of emotional stuff. Sometimes feeling, like you said, "weird". It def  has to do with die off, and your body getting back into balance. Just like when other people have emotional problems, it is never just "because", it is either due to unhealthy balance in your body, or extreme stress, which CAUSES the unhealthy balance, I believe, even if you are eating well.
The SF could def be making things worse for you in my opinion, emotionally, since it is killing the bad stuff, and causing die off. 
You are not alone, I still struggle with ups and downs, but I can tell you that the ups and downs have gotten much better as I have progressed with treatment.
Take care, and try and hang in there k? : )

Thanks so much for sharing. I read couple of peoples' experiences here and noticed its very common to have emotional die-off. I hope I will learn how to deal with it soon. it is scary sometimes to see how strong it can get. i feel like my hormoes might be in the play as well due to some body/facial hairgrowth
One of the hardest part is that sometimes i have ups and downs when i am out/when there are other people around me and i feel like i need to make an explanation even though i dont feel like it. but then i remind myself this is my experience and i need to take care of myself, think myself not others....its sort of like a loop and i hope i will break through it soon, at least i will learn it soon.
well all the other symptoms like bloating, puffiness, weight gain, hair loss, losing some of my toenails lately is kind of frustrating and definitely a reason of having ups and downs but this being emotional thing is really so strange, like all these feelings i had somewhere deep inside me coming out..:s
i learn a lot on this blog and i want to thank to everyone who share their stories.
