Hi All,
I have just joined this site but have been in treatment with Matia for one year. I have been helped so much by all of you great women and all your insight. What I would like some help with today is from anyone who has been in treatment for a year or longer.
Here is my issue... When I started a year ago I was in a lot of pain(8-10) and since I had gotten my IC under control before I knew I was in the right place to get help. It has been a rocky road but slowly I got better and then about one week ago I got hit hard with that crazy burning pain again, the kind that hardly lets up. Matia has been great always getting back to me and changing things around. Also, I am mostly on List 1 because I was too scared to move up.
My question is has this happened to anyone else? Were you slowiy getting better and then "WHAM", the crazy making pain that you thought was a thing of the past comes back full force??? Also, did you go back to where you left off or am I at square one again? I hope not, as I can hardly function! Any insight would be of help. Thanks
surprising flares
Hi Madison,
Welcome to the forum! I have been in treatment for exactly a year with Matia. I have made a lot of progress but still have a bit of a ways to go. Feeling so, so much better, though. Like you, I had an out-of-the-blue crazy burning/pain spell back in January. I had been doing relatively well and it really hit me like one of the worst flares I'd had maybe ever. Matia managed to help me get it under control relatively fast, but I was quite uncomfortable for several days. After it lifted, I started to make a lot of progress. So maybe it's a good sign that you're clearing some really nasty things from your system.
Good luck, I hope you feel better soon. Hot baths are my best friend when I feel intense burning.
