Hey Jeanette,  Yes, I have the same sore boob thing only on the left side. It comes and goes and is super annoying. I just had a thermography done a few weeks ago and the painful area showed up as cold, which is good in that it means I don't have a growth. The explanation I've been given by both Matia and the thermography doctor is lymphatic stagnation. I had my first thermography a year ago and now this second one which shows that my lymph system is better than a year ago. The soreness feels the same to me so it was good to hear that things are improving even if I can't feel the difference. Carol 

I get that as well. But just like you, I flee doctors like the plague.

Hi, I had this for YEARS and was convinced I was dying of breast cancer.  I might add, I had this symptom for at least 2-3 years before the onset of IC....another sign my body was trying to whisper to me that things were out of balance.  I'll never forget.  I went to my OBGYN like 3 times to check my breasts.  She said it could be fibrocystic disease or a cyst and sent me for an ultrasound.  I went for the ultrasound which was my first medical test ever in my life for something I was sure was going to kill me soon.  I was crying as I laid on the table and the technician moved the cold wand over my boob.  The technician got up and said...'wait right here, I have to go find the doctor' (again this was my first time and I didn't know this was customary).  As she left the room I just bawled my eyes out thinking the worst since she had to get the doctor to confirm it!  They both came back about 5 minutes later.  The doc did the test herself and looked at me like a crazy lady and asked why I was crying.  I told her I was so scared it was cancer and I had waited so long out of fear and now I was going to die.  She LAUGHED and said she didn't see a thing.  She couldn't understand why I had pain.  She literally said to me, I think it's your bra, it's too tight.  As an aside, I will say that I was a D-cup at the time and she was an A-cup MAYBE during her period.  Flat as a board.  She told me to stop wearing underwire.  I was like -- um, you're kidding right?  I'm a D!  Anyway, suffice to say I bought some new wireless bras and I started taking Evening Primrose Oil (not consistently) and cut way back on caffeine which seemed to help only slightly.  I still had major pain around my period and couldn't even sleep on my tummy most nights.  After I went off birth control, the pain disappeared right away.  Bingo.  3 months later, IC hit me full on one night.  The rest is history and here I am. Matia has also told me it's clogged lymph as it's come back now and then since starting treatment with her.  Anyway, lesson learned and fibrocystic disease isn't really a disease at all..it's just the conventional medicine way of calling something they don't understand a name so they can give you a drug for it...or tell you to buy a new bra ;)
