Hi everyone,

Can people on List 1 eat sushi?

Has anyone else noticed whether or not when they are upset, sad, crying etc., it seems like their bladder gets worse? That seems to be my case.

Hello all,

first of all, I want to say that I am so grateful for finding such a great and strong community of people, who actually seem to be on their right path to health... I am scared to death, depressed and it helped a bit. I have few questions I can not ask dr. Brizman personally at the moment and hope to find some answers here. I would also like to share my story in a nutshell, just to clarify why am I having such a stupid questions and don´t just go and ask Matia stright away:

Does anyone have more of a problem with bladder symptoms when they are sitting? When I am sitting in my chair at work, my symptoms seem to increase. When I stand, they are usually OK.

I wondered if this could have something to do with an entrapped nerve, or PNE. But I also wondered if it could just be that my bladder is compressed more when I'm sitting at work? Thoughts?

Ok- I know I have taken up a lot of space here but I am hoping someone has some insight. This might be long so TIA for reading. I don't want to scare anyone who is alao struggling so if you're feeling vulnerable maybe don't read.

Did anyone have shooting pain in their vagina and rectum when this first started.

I'm too sick to work but having to work anyway. I need help but can't make my family understand. I don't want to give up but it is so hard trying to get through the day. I wish I understood what is happening to my body. I wish someone could help me.

I was recently put on antidepressants. They make me feel better but I'm scared they mask the pain  and I will feel more at liberty to eat more things, but hurt my bladder worse when the meds run  out or lose their effectiveness. I am in a lot of pain and trying not to lose my mind worrying.

Hi Ladies,

  Knock on wood, but I am entering day six of a fairly painless bladder span;) Woohoo! However, I have begun to experience some pins/needles feelings in my arms and hands.... also a sense of heaviness in my arms. Anyone else experienced this?

Each time I experience something new in my body I feel completely blind sided by it. You would think by now I would get the merry go round called IC;)

Thanks Ladies,

Katie
