Has anybody been addicted to pain meds due to having IC?

  Tonight, I have been reading the posts on Salmon.  I had a great day until I ate Salmon for dinner.  It turned out to be from China (probably farm raised).  then I read another post about Salmon from Alaska having Copper.  Have any of you found a brand of Salmon that does not cause problems?  I would especially like to hear from people that may have had trouble with one kind of Salmon and did fine with another.
  Also, what type of fish do you eat regularly? 

   I am working on getting off Neurontin.  Currently, I am taking it for VV and Prudential Neuralgia.  I can endure the VV and am hoping my Neuralgia will be tolerable.  If you have gone off this medication, I would love to hear your experiences.
   If you are taking medication, I highly recommend reading the full drug information.  This week, I learned that Neurontin contains lactose and can affect blood sugar!  I am down to one pill a day.

Hi all,

I have posted about this before, but wanted to again to see what kind of response I got.  For a while now in treatment, I have been getting what I would call a congested feeling in my left breast... This is accompanied by tingling/numbness/weakness in the left arm/eczema on the same hand etc.

I get so terrified about the possibility of breast cancer.  I know I have cystic breasts... Both are cystic and lumpy all over... I wouldn't know breast cancer if it walked up and introduced itself to me.

  I recently read Matia's blog about herbs to have in your medicine cabinet.  I have many of the herbs on hand.  Have any of you treated yourself or a family member for a cold using Gung Mio Ling, Ear Formula, Goldenseal Root, or Siberian Eluthero?  My husband has a cold with his main symptoms being a runny nose and chest congestion. I really don't want him to take antibiotics since he may play a part in my imbalance.  Would you mind sharing what you took for a cold?
 

hey everyone. I am trying to help Debbie out. She just moved into an apt by herself and isn' doing well at all. She has no computer and I want to get her a used blackberry or laptop. It will cost between 60-90. If any of you can help please contact me I can't really afford to do it by myself but I am trying to get her something. It will be alot easier. So if you want to help just contact me for my address and I am going to pull the money to get it to her.

I am starting to think I do not have the strength to do this.. I have failed AGAIN on the diet..and went into a binge.

I am wondering, Do I like being sick or something?  Why do I keep doing this to myself.  I see now, this diet is truly a heart issue for me.  I went to sugar when I was little to seek comfort in abusive situations, and now I see how deeply rooted it is in my emotions.  

I feel like I am out of control with it.  When a major craving hits, I am like a insane women and feel so low until I get something with sugar...

I found these, you can get overnight shipping that is cheaper than the office's shipping

Are these the right pills? 

  I need advice.  For the nest four weeks, I am attending a parenting class in a friends home.  Part of the class involves eating a meal and discussing parenting.  Do you think it would be better to eat before the class or bring my own food?

So, since I have been really good on the diet, the past 4 days I am having really bad intestine pain.  The middle to the left side, and it is like a radiating sharp pain that comes and goes.  I stopped taking my pro-biotc a few weeks back, so I am not on any supplement when I see Matia, so I am wondering if this is because I am not giving my body good bacteria?  Although, many times I had to stop taking certain brands of pro-biotcs because they make my stomach hurt.  Anyway, the pain is really annoying, and new..and its confusing cause I am eating so healthy.
