Can't remember the last time I had what I would call full blown cystitis - it's killing me.  It's been so long I've forgotten what to do other than drink lots of water.  It started last night and is showing no sign of abaiting.  Do i just continue with the regime or seek advice from the doctor i wonder...?  I think it happened due to my not being rigid with the diet or possibly for daring to try to have sex recently.  Wow it can really bring you down.  It's quite amazing how going backwards and suffering more makes you realise just how far you'd actually come.  Hope this is just a speed bum

At work we have an expensive machine called Tanita that measures, fat, bone and muscle density etc by sending electrical pulses through the body.  I'm intrigued to see what it would find in me although not sure if sending electrical pulses through me (even though deemed safe) is such a good idea..Any thoughts on this?

Tuesday Greetings, Icers....

Does anyone suffer from continuous and stubborn TMJ problems in spite of longterm treatment?

Are there any senior citizens out there?

Ok I know this question may be a stretch, but does anyone have any recommendations on water to drink in Spain?  My family is going there and I really really want to go but I don't know if I dare because of the water.  Any suggestions would be helpful. :)

thanks everyone.

I just cannot keep it and have to share. This is the best most helful blog I ever found online that profoundly effect my life. This is a big statement, but so true.

From Sarah's The healthy home econnomist's blog you can find ton of links and references to other resources related to healthy living. There are a lot of free receipies that can work if not for me, then for my family. Reading the blog and planning and attempting to prepare healthy meals for my kids add enthusiasm to my IC-striken time.

-at least from me!  Does anyone know if, how and when we can introduce cows milk back onto our diets?

I've read that alot of people suffer with the vertigo, tinnitus and sinus headaches that I also can't seem to evade.  The headaches are rare but the congested head and wierd dehydrated brain feeling (can't think of a better description) are plagueing me everyday at the moment and make me feel as if I have a head cold with the same level of exhaustion. The mucous continually runs down the back of my throat and it's possibly this, that also blocks my ears and causes the tinnitus.  I also have terribly bloodshot eyes although at least the painful dryness seems to have wained a little. 

Just wondered if anyone else also has the feeling of hunger or like they are not at all satsified ALL of the time??  I'm not sure if I'm eating enough but it's such hard work trying to prepare all this fresh food everyday.  I've been on list 1 and 2 for about 9 months although I do at times add in things that I can get away with from further lists.  I'm sure it's all part of the process but it would be nice to have an idea of how long this lasts..It's like before I started the diet I could consume alot of sugary foods and it was like they were just being eaten up (internally) before I got a

I was wondering if anyone could share (good or bad) their experiences with NAET in respect to allergies/food intolerances. THANKS!

While at the beach, I used Bomasense sunscreen, which did a very good job, however, I can't seem to get it to wash out of my bathing suits.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, how did you get it to come out?  I have tried washing my suits twice on delicate cycle and also tried hand scrubbing the areas with soap and water.
