Good evening! I have been in treatment for 1 year 8 months and have been dealing with crazy new symptoms lately on top of my normal issues. I have been having lots of dizzy spells and last month I was vomitting and could not walk at all. Dr. B put me on a protocol to help with them and it did ease it up and now I just feel like the I am spinning off and on and a general feeling of imbalance and unstable most of the time. It is not fun and I have a very stressful job and look at a computer all day which only makes me more dizzy.

I just wanted to give a little update on my progress and offer some encouragement to those early on in treatment.

I've been in treatment for 1 year and 7 months and have had almost 1 whole month now with basically NO SYMPTOMS!

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone been diagnosed with H Pylori and has been treated by Dr. B?  I’ve been in treatment for almost a year and I have improved greatly.  I’m starting to feel more confident about my bladder and I’m symptom free for longer periods.  This is a miracle. 

Hi Everyone,

You haven't seen me for a while, because i have been a bit preoccupied; I am now 20 weeks pregnant! I just wanted to share this with all of you, because, to me it means so much when people post about their progress.

After being in treatment with Dr. B for a year (and having IC for three years) i was well enough to get pregnant. (I had done work before i started with Dr. B, and had made alot of progress already. So for me, getting better took about two years).

I have been at zero pain for much of the time. What a miracle. 

All of a sudden wham-a flare- that seems out of nowhere. Then I looked back over my e-mails to Boaz. Seems to be a pattern. I seem to flare about 7 days after the beginning of my cycle for a few days. It is a very strange time to flare. Most people flare just before their period. 

Anyone have experience with flares in the luteal phase before ovulation? 

Anyone's hormonal flares subside after awhile of being on the protocol? Please share about your observations and process.

Love and light,

Hi guys,

I hope you will all indulge me a bit. StArting out my 55th birthday with 2 antidepressants and a klonipin taper ahead. Probably shutting down my law practice to hopefully get my health back. It hurts to realize how much healthier I was last year at this time. I hope I can do it.

to the newcomer- avoid my mistakes. If for anxiety reasons you stop sleeping- do anything- take a leave of absence from work- but stay away from psychiatrists. It is a deep hole. I wish I had put it all down when is started last March.

I just want to share some hope. 

For about the last ten years I have been hit with one health problem after another, lots of chronic pain, the last of those manifesting as IC. After I had my child six years ago I was plagued with fatigue and every ache and pain you can imagine. I was stuck in the western med trap, and took everything they suggested, which led me into a spiral. 

I would have times of feeling okay, then something else would crash in my body and the loop of chronic pain would start again.

Hi,

 Before I ask Dr. Brizman, I'd like to ask any of you for clarification.  Under fruits, on List 4, 'ALL BERRIES' is listed. I figured all the berries, (blue,black, rasberries and strawberries). However, an orange is technically a berry, lol. Do we know if oranges are okay?

Thank you!
