Hello ladies,

Aquick question in the hope that you can help with my fears. When IC first showed up in 1997, and I had a cystoscopy, it showed nothing. My recent one showed obvious bladder wall damage - some glomerulations were seen. Do even bladders with glomerulations heal? What about scar tissue? Does that heal? I can imagine healing a 'new' IC bladder, but what about an 'old' one? 

Does anyone else have it? I am talking mood issues. The past 2 months my pd has been later -I am on day 33 and still don't have it. I have such bad PMS. I am crying and crying today and no matter how I try to explain to my husband- he does not get it. We just had a big argument and I feel terrible because it was my fault for being nuts but I am frustrated with him too (probably unfair).

To those who've tried it, how did you like it? Details? i.e. best for which types of hair/scalp, how well it "lathers," does your hair smell good after?, etc.

I have esp dry scalp, usually must shampoo head a few times, so also wonder how well it deals with that.

Calieve, I read your earler post today with interest because I had got up to post mine, to ask if what I am going through is normal. For the past two days, and nights, I have been feeling dreadful in that every time I try to sleep, I get 'jingly jangly' nerve sensations running up and own my body, I am not tired, I am not sleeping restfully but fitfully, my body is tired, limbs are heavy, joints ae clicking. I feel very inflamed inside - all of me. I just don't feel 'like 'myself' anymore. I am worried for my mental health - is this normal? How can this be die-off?

I am 5 months into treatment today! Yay I can't believe I am already this far into it.

I have been in treatment with Dr. Brizman for four months.  I am still struggling but have had some relief.  My biggest problem at the moment is constipation.  The probiotics and cod liver oil I am on are not helping.  Recently my bulgaris was increased to 2 per dose and this caused terrible diarrhea and a flare of all my other symptoms.  I was put on chlorella/spirulna and this also caused diarrhea.  The magnesium oxide worked for a bit but ended up causing to many spasms and eventually stopped working.

Dear all,

Does anyone know whether the treatment is meant to make you completely asymptomatic or whether you'd still have flares? I was completely asymptomatic for years but nevertheless had 'flares' lasting between hours and days several times per year. Do ex-patients have this profile or are they completely asymptomatic from the disease? 

Hello ladies,

Hey Deir-

I can't email you on here for some reason.  My fiance has an ear infection, and you said you had some holistic methods of dealing with this?  He keeps taking Ibprofen, it's so ridiculous.

Thanks

Maybe I am a little late to the game, but I just discovered that the Mountain Valley Spring Water Site now has an online store that will ship the Glass Bottles right to your house! I have been using Deer Park and am feeling well on it, but am not crazy about the plastic bottles. I ordered a 12 pack of the one liter bottles and it was $35 with shipping included.... not bad. The water is expensive, but for how heavy those bottles are, I thought shipping would be outrageous and it's not.
