Hi guys,

I'm on rhodiola for anxiety - just started it several days ago.  It seems to be both calming me and making me hyper - that part I get.  What I'm wondering - has anyone else noticed an increased in die off or what have you? My right ear is now ringing, my brain feels like it's itching, and my legs turned red during a mild walk today.

Just curious - Thanks

Hi ladies,

So Dr. B once told me that hot yoga wasn't the best exercice for those with IC as it encourages detoxifying too quickly because of the profuse sweating. I did continue with it however as I've been doing it for years and always felt better afterwards.  BIG MISTAKE.  I went to a particularly challenging class this past weekend, my first in over a month.  Later that afternoon I noticed what looked like a heat rash all over my body.  The worst however was the EXTREME ITCHING.  It's worse than anything I've ever felt. I actually have broken blood vessels all over my body from scratching!

New symptom pain in left side of vagina to anus. God help me.

Dear God, it's Me. I know I haven't had the strongest faith that a person should probably have. I have many regrets in life that I hope you'll forgive me for, and I can't promise to be perfect. But I pray that you would find a way to help all women who suffer from pelvic pain conditions. Please heal our bodies, minds and souls. Please give us our lives back and help octors find concrete solutions to help us heal.

Every time I think I'm getting better something else pops up. Since I started my period, I have been having pain in my lower left side that feels like pressure on my bladder. I am so sad and scared. Why can't the symptoms just subside. Why does it always have to be something different that is torture to deal with. My mind races about what it could be - colon, ovary, kidney, hernia? I need help but there is no one to help me. I hate crying every day.  I'm scared to eat. I need to work. Please God, help all of us. Please heal us.

I'm having pain on one side that sometimes feels like my gut and sometimes feels like my bladder and sometimes feels like my ovary. It started with my period and hasn't stopped after ovulation. Sometimes it makes me feel like there is pressure on my bladder. Sometimes there are a few sharp pains. Sometimes it subsides, but has been a pretty steady feeling. Has anyone experienced this?

I have what feels like a yeast infection. I emailed Dr B & she told me to use plain yogurt vaginally. I know this may be graphic... Lol but can anyone explain how I am supposed to do this & if you have did it help any???

Hi Ladies,

 I stumbled upon a company called Against the Grain that has some wonderfully delicious and healthy option for us. I believe they are perfectly safe (with the exception of two of their breads which contain coconut oil) but my question is......... their main ingredient is tapioca starch. What list is this on? I am on the end of list 3 so before I stocked my freezer full of this yummy stuff I wanted to see where tapioca falls.

Hi all,

I've been suffering from IC for about 7 months now and while it's not a debilitating case i have some really awful days. I can go days where I have no symptoms and then something will set it off for no real reason.
