Hi ladies,

Hey - anyone suffered with being so sick to your stomach that you're afraid that you're going to throw-up?  Then add to it tremendou pain under my left shoulder blade. I'm pretty sure this is die off related - too many other weird symptoms happening at the same time.  Last night I got a bit of a sore throat, I sneezed, my ears plugged up, and then the left shoulder blade pain hit. I am so trying to tough it out at work - co-workers on vacation.

Thanks,

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.

Hi all,

As most of you know- I have not responded so great to this treatment (as far as symptoms go- maybe inside is healing!) I came into this almost a year ago thinking I'd be super fast due to what I considered mild IC with no other health issues besides PMS. I also cam einto this already eating an almost completely whole foods diet. Well, I am struggling. I truly believe in Matia and in this type of treatment but I would love to know if there were any other patients who took a long time to see any improvement or even got worse in my case- and still went on to heal?

I just got off the phone with my grandmother (step, not blood related) who lives in Guildford, Surrey.  She is in her eighties and has suffered with chronic "cystitis" for many, many years. She had a cystoscopy (normal, of course) and continually receives antibiotics (literally for over ten years now).  I've told her the basics of Matia's thinking and she seems to understand and definitely thinks it could be IC. She has a history of kidney issues (possibly from birth) and has a tyipcal English diet of lots of tea, crumpets, wine, meats, veggies and sweets.

Hi Ladies :)

I just picked a copy of Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures Revealed" from the library. I skipped the first 5-6 chapters and went right in to the content i was interested to read about.

Anyone know the brand of this we're supposed to use?  Is there a general brand I can get from I-herb?  I don't want to bother Matia.

Thanks!

I am closing in on my 1 year mark with Matia, and while she originally thought I'd be symptom free in a year (which is not the case, but I'm doing great), I notice more and more that life is coming back to me.  Today I am home sick with strep throat and have been emailing back and forth with Matia, and feeling so grateful that it's about a sore throat and not a sore bladder/urethra.  I feel grateful for strep throat!  These waves of recognition have been happening quite often, I felt some strange twinge of gratitude the other day when having a fight with my sweetie, grateful that I was cryi
