Hello Ladies,

     I am scheduled to have my one and only root canal removed through a tooth extraction next Thursday by an endodontist. I also had my first appt with a hoslistic dentist- that was awesome- I will always go to one now! Anyway, if you have had a tooth removed or major dental work, what type of anesthesia did you use and do you feel it had an affect on your IC? 

      Thank you 

      Katie

I'm not sure I should even be posting here anymore seeing as I'm no longer a patient of the Brizman's (reasons for leaving were about 10% personal and 90% financial) but I'm at a complete loss and as most of you surely know, it's near-impossible to find proper support when you're suffering from IC.

Hi all,

Hello everyone,

Hi All, 

So, my stepdad is hospitalized right now with pretty serious declining health.  He has been taken away by ambulance about 3 times in the last month and a half and is now considering moving to hospice care.  It's been really shocking, as he was very active and full of life just a couple of months ago.  

I am wondering if there is hope in having an enjoyable pregnancy after completing treatment with the Brizmans? Are there people out there that have had a pleasant pregnancy without IC symptoms after being treated? 

Hello Ladies, Have you made your own toothpaste before? If so, what do you use? I have seen baking soda mixtures with different essential oils that look like good recipes. The ingredients in my favorite toothpaste changed and now it contains sorbitol and all kinds of junk.

Thanks, Katie

I live in Florida and due to distance, prior committments and expense my first appt is not until May 15.  Because of the pain I started the diet a month ago. I have had some die off and the pain has subsided greatly. I have been strictly adhering to list one. I just started having a feeling of pressure in the rectum. I am taking Dr. Mercola's probiotics and having one to two bowel movements daily.  I tolerate raw veggies wellt. I am ordering the squatty potty and drinking the hot water. Have read the panel on Prolapse. Is there anything else any of you can recommend more?
