Dear all,
I have some strange symptoms. I used to deal with just bladder discomfort, which went away for years after acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Now, I have more intesnse tingling feeling in the base of the bladder, right sidede inflammation, but I als have a host of other symptoms - I am agigated, can't sleep (as in, I am not tired at all but in a constant state of agitation), I have waves of tingling up and down my body when I try to lie down and relax, my body feels like it is pulsating, and I have little appetite. I have been following Dr. B's diet for about three weeks ahead of our appt.. Is this 'die off' or IC symptoms? Any ideas as to how long it takes to start to feel better once I've seen her? Any thoughts and suggestions really appreciated.
Yes! All of these symptoms
Yes! All of these symptoms can happen. As for the pulsating.. I get that too. It feels like when you hit your finger really hard and you can feel it throbbing because blood is going to it... except in this case, it is your whole body "throbbing". Yep, the body begins a sort of detox with the diet and your body will respond to the release of toxins differently. Once you begin treatment, you may email Dr.B and she can balance what is uncomfortable with herbs.
Great questions,
Katie
