IC is a dreadful condition. There is no doubt. When people come into this clinic and I watch the tears fall across someone's face my heart wrenches each time as if it were the first that I witnessed it.
And, each time, there are cries of fear that no help will ever come. And most of those times are proven wrong, bc help does come.
My answers are always the same-you have to fight this fight. You have to meet your challenge. You have to be determined. I am here as a guide, but I cannot fight for you.

Please remember the importance of everything going in you is not only what you put in your body, but what goes into your spouses body since what goes into his or her body influences his or her sexual fluids and those may be communicated to you.
Recently I had a patient flare suddenly after having sex with her husband when he had sushi! Inconceivable? Not at all! Beer is another common one, or even antibiotics.
So, think about these things if you are having unprotected sex. Many of you are not, but many are. I thought for that reason this was important to post.

...she needs a place bc the kind offer made last week wont work out bc of space. If anyone has the ability to house someone in need to a place to stay here in LA, it would be so great. This person needs a place to stay and someone to help her with cooking and taking her supplements!
If anyone does this, it would be a huge gift.

A patient sent this in-it looks like a great article. I did not read it word for word, but, speed read it. I think it was very relevant to post.

Went super well! An hour and a half flew by! I had to cut it a half an hour short-sorry everyone. My five year old was having a Mommy melt down. As always, I enjoyed listening to everyone, and I learn a lot by listening to everyone's questions. We had a lot of new joiners. The support for everyone is overwhelming in these meetings and I just love having them.
I look forward to next month. If anyone has any left over questions from last night feel free to post here.

Substitute the word-Universe or whatever other word works for you-nature. IT is the message that is important here-not the God part. Please read this, it is a really important message:

I have already received an overwhelmingly kind and loving offer for the patient in need below.
I am so touched by this. I realize not many people could make an offer like this. And, perhaps this will not even come to fruition, but, I am continually inspired by find love in unexpected places just at a moment when it is so needed.
This offer comes from someone who was once feeling like she would die herself and has experienced that amazement of healthy well-being.
what goes around does come around.

One day I hope to have a half way house for those in need for IC. This is something I am really aspiring towards.
Right now, I have a patient in need of such a place and there is no where for her to go. Her family cannot keep her here bc of space issues. She cannot stay alone bc she wont take her herbs or remember to eat.
If anyone can house this person for three months in exchange for rent and help her with meals and supplements it would be a beautiful gift.
I am just putting this out there--just in case.
