So I have pretty poor circulation. I wake up sometimes and my arms and legs are totally asleep... my hands have been getting worse and worse.

So I had my first appointment, and I am just a little frightened because everyone seems to be having these terrible reactions to herbs, or taking a long time to heal etc. I am worried because since starting the diet many of my symptoms have improved greatly, and I am horrified that within the next few months this treatment is just going to make my body miserable...

Is there such thing as this process being SOMEWHAT easy? Or am I looking at a future full of pain?

Hi lovely people,

OUCH my face hurts. So I guess I have Rosacea. It gets kind of ridiculous to keep adding on "diagnoses". I get it, my body doesn't work so it's manifesting everywhere... I am assuming this is another one of the symptoms that will get better as my immune system gets stronger....

Hi everyone!

i am struggling through a stubborn sinus infection. Matia is helping me with herbs. i am so thankful for her. But. i sure would like some cough drops. or my old codine cough syrup :) .

Has anyone found something to use in place of cough drops. Can't get much sleep for coughing all night. I tried ice chips..but .they disolve so quicky.

Any of your healthy ideas would be appreciated!!

I feel like things are really changing in my body. My weight has been stable since I started the diet, and my GERD symptoms are almost gone... it's incredible to see the difference of just two months on this diet!

I had a bladder flare a few days ago, and my instinctive reaction was this instant panic... I was so scared that the worst symptoms were going to start all over and it would be this endless bout of pain like it was before... but it wasn't. It lasted for two days, the symptoms were mild and totally manageable... and then it was gone.

Interesting side to read DogtorJ.com. Explains a lot about the connection between food and pain.

Is there anyone else who always flares after their period? I know a lot of people talk about flares during their periods or ovulation but I always begin to flare right as my period finishes. This lasts for usually about a week with horrible pressure and pain and overall sick feeling. The rest of the month is much more manageable for me with just mild symptoms. And ovulation is when I feel my best, both bladder-wise and in general emotionally! I know hormones affect IC but it seems weird to flare at the time I do. Just wondering if anyone has similar experiences?

I know I'm not the only one with joint and muscle pain. I've started having arthritic symptoms in my fingers... it's difficult to write and type, my fingers just always feel like I've come out of the cold.

Has anyone had this issue and addressed it with Dr. B?

Thanks

Love

Hannah
