ICAMA

i know for me finding Matia was totally God sent. yes i was in a panic too when i first started having ic. i diagnosed myself by research online. i already knew conventional drs. were not much help though i went through 3 months of atibiotics. tryed the naturopathic school for a while too. but they were not specialized enough. so one day in 2004 as i sat on the toilet crying and praying i know God spoke to me and told me to look online for the specific quote "cure IC".He alwas keeps it simple for me. ;) that lead me to a site that led me to icaroadtorecovery.com i stayed up til midnight reading and went to bed with hope. its always a happy day to talk to Matia. my husband will come home , see my cheer, and ask if i talked to my dr. today. i hope to understand more of her genius after reading her work. she has and continues to help my whole family. things i learn from her i share. people ask me "has your dr. said anything about such and such?" today i am very healthy and seldom have any symptoms at all. its almost hard to remember the beginning. i was able to spend these years without worry for myself because i knew i was in good hands. thank you Matia!

My name is Michelle and I live in Raleigh NC.  I started having signs of IC in April of 2005, about 3 years ago.  I was in a panic, as I am sure all of you know what I mean or how I felt, I had never heard of IC before and just assumed I had a UTI on a constant basis that no anitobiotic could cure.   I was also having other problems, my hair was falling out faster and I had pain in my tail bone that I had never experienced before.  After going to doctor's and specialist who told me they did not know why I kept returning since there was nothing they could do,  I decided to contact Matia and try another approach.  I started with Matia December 2005, I was unsure this would work but when we talked for the first time on the phone I knew it was right for me.   She asked me questions that no one else had ever asked me and seem to know what I was going to say before I said it, when she asked me if I had tail bone pain (which I never mention nor thought it was related) I was in shock and awe at the same time.   I got off the phone and knew I had made the right decision.   It was difficult at first with the diet and taking all of the herbs but little by little I started to get better.  I did have set backs and days that I was still under the weather but each time I would contact Matia and she would make a change in my herbs, within 24 hours I would always feel better.  You start to learn your body and listen to what it is telling you, toward the end when I was having a bad day I would slightly adjust my herbs just how I thought Matia would and waited to see if it made a difference, if not I would then contact her.  As of today I am doing much better about 98% - there are still days when I feel off, nomally when I am getting my period - but they are not near what they were before and I can tolerate them completely.  May all of you keep your hope alive and have trust that Matia can help you.
