Hi All,

I am dealing with clearing a uti and am taking a large amount of gan mao ling and ear formula.  At the rate I'm now taking it, I'm going to run out before the office re-opens in January.  Does anyone have a bottle of each they'd be willing to sell to me?  That'd get me through til they open again I believe. 

Hi Ladies, it has been many months since I posted. I have not been treating with Matia. I never had the courage to really start due to lyme disease and pain getting worse everytime I tried.

By treating lyme and co-infections with herbs, I got to about 80% better by September this year. Very low pain or symptoms and 50% of my days being totally symptom free). :D

I have been in treatment for 6 and a half months now and the first three months were going really well for me.  I hit a flare for no reason that I can find and even with constant protocol changes and being in contact with Dr. Boaz every day via e-mail, I still have no stabilized.  I don't want to lose faith in this treatment because I believe this is the right way to go, but I have not been able to function as a human being for three and a half months now. 

Good Evening,

    I was doing beautifully! Two years in- almost no bladder awareness and then a few days ago I began to have weakness in my neck and shoulders. Ever have that feeling when you lift too much weight and arms become fatigued? Yep, having that for no reason with a few twitches or muscle spasms....in my hand, face and shoulder.  Has anyone experienced this? 

   Then, I made rookie mistake #1 when I looked online and typed in muscle weakness....... Yep, I  scared the heck out of myself.

Hi

If anyone treating with Matia Brizman has an appointment this week and is willing to TRADE with me for another appt THIS week. I have an appt on December 20th at 9am Pacific Standard Time which is exactly when my daughter's winter concert is. Please let me know by PM if you are willing to trade and I will call the office. Thanks for considering!!

Hello All,

Well I felt completely well for three weeks before Thanksgiving. My bladder disappeared for a bit. I was hiking, and feeling very happy about my body. Then...I couldn't find my Supernatren and took Bifidonate alone for a day and a half. OUCH. Boaz is apparently serious about taking stuff together or not at all. I flared BIGTIME. I never knew a little probiotic could cause such havoc. So now I am off of it.

Hi fellows

I am posting this for all the newbees and others who are already in the treatment.

when i started my journey 6 months back in the treatment, I was taking 2 other pills with ELMIRON 3 times a day to ease my pain and burning . I had a big fear to stop these pills and i even posted on the forum here about my anxiety for this and u guys were great help with ur comments,  due to your and Dr BOAZ's encouragement and also GOD's grace i was able to stop taking them.

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone who has had a UTI during treatment can help me out.  I am in a mountain of pain and went to the MD and tested positive for a UTI.  Matia was emailing me earlier today but seems to be on vacation now.  I have her UTI herbs but do not know the dosages for the more "advanced" herbs.

In addition to the relentless bladder pain, I'm having dizzyness and nausea and have thrown up a bit a couple of times.  I drank almost 2 liters of water in an hour and continue to have barley a trickle of pee come out.  It's like my kidneys are blocked. 

Hello everyone,

I'm 23 weeks pregnant. For the last few month I've had bladder symptoms, including what feel like fairly frequent Braxton-Hicks contractions that further irritate my bladder.  Looking on other IC boards on the internet, it appears other women with IC tend to have more frequest BH contractions (maybe due to an already irritated bladder? I'm not sure).  Have any one of you ever felt this? Did they put you at risk for early labour? I'm wading into unknown territory here for my midwives and doctors and any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello my fellow warriors! I am really struggling and I know all of this and especially joint pain has been the topic of conversation on many occasions! Several times a month I find myself in quite a bit of pain, especially in pelvis and hips to the point I have trouble wailing and can't fall asleep because the pain is so bad. It is most notably debilitating the days leading up to and first few days of my period. Do any of you get debilitating cramps, burning in urethra and stomach, and joint pain especially around your cycle?
