I had some pretty obvious reactions to herbs so we've been back and forth adjusting but now I'm dealing with some nasty vertigo/dizziness. She had said at my appointment that she didn't htink I'd have much die off. I am assuming that's what this is anyway- I know she doesn't have a crystal ball. I emailed her since it is pretty bad- not sure if I can drive today and I have to go sing at a funeral Mass! I hope I don't fall over on the altar.
Anyway- when do you know to just grin and bear it and assume it is die off and when to let her know?
sigh.......this stinks.
I contact her when things get
I contact her when things get too difficult for me to get by. Like if my symptoms are so bad that I'm having difficulty getting through my day at work. I have never had a day off sick because of IC before but have struggled through some difficult ones.
I do try to 'grin and bear it' as far as possible but its not always that easy. I normally end up emailing once or twice between my monthly apts. I also try to keep my emails as brief and to the point as possible so as not to take up too much of her time, although she has never given me the impression that i'm being a nuisance.
Deir- I am so sorry you are
Deir- I am so sorry you are still dealing with this symptom. I agree with UK Carol... try to live with it until you know this is not within the range of "normal" for your body. Then email Matia.... even if it is just to have her say to grin and bear it. At least then you will have peace of mind. Feel better soon:)

I was debating a lot in the
I was debating a lot in the beginning of the treatment whether it was a good time or not. And several times I suppose I waited way too long. After a while, I kind of started to become more aware of my body and to understand my tolerance level, if the pain/discomfort is tolerable , or things go ok for a while when the doses are same, but suddenly I feel way different--i email her Usually I email within 10 days of an appointment to let her know how I feel, and then in the same month I email if I really feel awkward, or I have a really disturbing die-off &and I don't understand what is going on..Well, most of the time I am ot sure whats going on, lol..but it kind of feels like, OK enough I think I should ask her.
