Hi everyone, im in the stages of booking the appointment, planning the trip to LA from australia, and even though I feel this is the best option for me right now,I just had an inner monment of panic thinking 'what if this site isnt real, what if I get to LA and ive been taken for a ride, what if what if what if? my mum is skeptical and I was so sure and hopeful that this would help me get my life back, until I listened to her and had that moment! I hate to say this because i read all your posts and success stories and believe that this treatment is available and is successful, in my heart i really do. Maybe its because nobody in my family just 'does' out there stuff like going to LA just to see a doctor, but then again they dont live with IC every day and arent desperate to get their life back. so what im asking is, are there any of you who would be willing to communicate via email just about the treatment and how you're going with it,to put my mind at ease and to answer some of the questions i have? i would really appreciate it :)
Anxiety
Ok that last post was me having a slight anxiety attack, sorry! It's just that ever since I found this site I found hope for my future and things have been better, less depressed and less anxious. The thought that maybe this lifeline wouldn't work or if I didn't have at least a chance to give it a go was absolutely frightening. Life is so different since ic came along, way more stressful than ever before. So if anyone would like to email the head case of the day, please do!
You're going to have to compete with
the other head case : ). I wrote you last night but must have forgotten to save. What I wanted to tell you was that when I got to LA - very late at night - I made my boyfriend drive by the offices. I had this panic attack that I'd find a burnt out gas station. However, I find a wonderful, kind, healing doctor - a much better trade. I can't get e-mail from this site -not sure why. You can find me at greatworker1@hotmail.com (the 1 is the numeral one)
The real deal
Hi Amanda,
I don't blame your mother for being skeptical. My family was very skeptical at first too--as was I. I've been in treatment for six months now and and would be happy to chat with you over e-mail or by phone about my experiences thus far, and the process with Dr. Brizman. My e-mail is laurenschneider(at)hotmail.com. A Toronto patient of Dr. B reached out to me when I first started treatment and it helped a lot.
