Hi there!

Does anybody gets worse by sitting?? I haven't been able to sit at all for a long time, I only tolerate the kneeling chair at the moment....sometimes I worry wondering how long this will last :'(... Could anyone tell me when and how it got better?

Also, have anybody tried pelvic floor therapy? I know DR B doesn't agree with it but I'd be good to know anyway...

thanks!!!

Hey everyone - this is the bookshop I visited today - it's local to my parents' in the north-east of England. And it so happens that it was this bookshop that launched the Keep Calm and Carry On poster on the world. I saw this video a couple of days ago, and thought a) it was beautiful - it made me cry and b) that its message applied to us very closely. So here it is. Keep calm, and carry on!

Ok all so some of you may have already read my previous post about being pregnant and having a possible IC issue, I have questions about this program and how it's worked for you. Do you really notice a difference? I've been sifting through this forum and am getting so many different mixed signals on whether or not you all are being helped. Which I hope you are. I've been on the diet for a few days (dr Brizman wants to wait to actually treat me after the baby) and it seems like I'm getting worse which makes me feel like this isn't food related. I would love some positive stories.

Dear all,

Hello to all who are reading this, my name is Lindsey and I've been reading through all of your postsa since this past Monday when I found the site.  Let me tell you a little bit about myself. In October 2009 I had laparoscopic surgery to remove lots of ovarian cysts. About a month later I remember one day being so incredibly uncomfortable with what felt like a constant full painful bladder, so naturally I went to my dr thinking it was a UTI. The tests were negative but showed I had a very bad yeast infection.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've posted, while I do read your posts every day--and am VERY grateful so many people are feeling and experiencing the same things I am.  I'm a new patient who's been with Dr.

I read a quote from Dr.Maritn Luther King today that I want to share:

If you can't fly - run

If you can't run - walk

If you can't walk - crawl

Just keep moving forward

This brought a smile to my face and gave me strength to keep moving forward and stay positive with my treatment and in my life.

I have been trying dilligently to take the herbs for the last 10 days and I am getting horrible sinus headaches from the Rhemmaniae P. Dr. B says to persist it will get better but I cannot continue to work and think under these conditions. At least, I need a break. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I do not want to deviate from the protocol but this is very hard.

So I am 5 1/2 months into treatment right now. Just wondering if anyone else is going through these weird feelings that change every month. The past month I have had the worst negative feelings ever. I have been having crazy nightmares, and I just think the worst about everything. And the couple months prior to that I was angry all the time.

Dear all,

I have been reading these boards but do not see many posts about regrets and people coping with the 'if only I hadn't...' type thinking. While intellectually I know that this type of thinking does us no good, I am also aware that it is very human for us to think like that. Am I the only one struggling with this type of thinking re IC or do others do so too? How do you get yourself into a better place once the thought process starts? I'd love some tips as at the moment, I am going crazy castigating myself for bringing myself out of remission.
