I want to send an enormous wave of positivity and love to everyone here. I KNOW in my heart that we ALL have the power and miracle in us to heal. We just have to believe in the part of the human body and the human spirit that is capable of performing miraculous miraculous things.

Human beings have suffered so much throughout history and pulled through. The proof of our potential is all around us. We are miraculous beings. The world is full of miracles and the incomprehensible. Science tries to explain it but can't, and when it does, something even more inexplicable happens.

Hi All, 

A few nights ago I was down about not being able to drink on a night out with my family. A bit ago Mimi started a posting regarding the same thing titled (I think) Help Challenges with Drinking. It is definitely worth reading as at the tail end of many replies Nadia sweetly puts the whole drinking issue into perspective. If you are having problems like I did you should search this posting and read it!

Hi Deir,

I was trying to PM you but there is no contact info listed under your name.  Is there any way I could?

I was wondering if I am not currently on any medication nor have I been ( not even on Tylenol ) and I am doing well on the stage one diet, if my chances of healing are better. By well I mean i have gone from sleeping 2-4 hours of broken sleep to 5-6 (once or twice even 7!) hours of straight sleep.  And the constant spasms have been greatly reduced .  There have been moments I've actually felt normal and symptom free but those moments were short lived.  I have been able to go out for several dinners with my husband and actually enjoy myself.

My 17 month old suddenly had a yeast diaper rash! Poor thing :(

Anyone have a natural cure? Thanks so much!

I have questions regarding frequency.  I was wondering if anyones frequency has resolved with treatment.   It is one of the main issues I deal with having IC.

So just wondering, since I'm starting the diet on my own before I can see Dr. B, how long did everyone stay on each list before moving to the next? I am just curious to have an average.

And is there anyone else who had to deal with acid reflux/GERD along with their IC with Dr. B? Have you been able to treat them both effectively?

It's do frustrating for me this morning because I am having a pretty good morning with frequency and pain  wise but I can't enjoy it because I am anxious about the symptoms starting up. So, even when I am doing well I can't enjoy being symptom free and am plagued by anxiety.  I have been doing the tapping but it has not helped so far

I thought this brief little piece in the NYT was interesting and made me think of all of us.  Worth a look.
