I have been having a bit of a pity party recently and am wondering how other people experience the humility that comes with IC and this treatment. Part of it is that I just passed my 3 year mark of being hit with IC.
I am so discouraged and tired of being in pain. Here's my story...I suffered with urinary retention in April 2011 during the 2nd trimester being pregnant with my 3rd child. By the time the OB sent me to the ER to get catheterized my bladder had 3 times the normal amount. I am fearful this caused damage. I also had antibiotics at this time to ward off infection from the catheter. Then, in July 2011 I started having severe vaginal pain and thought I had an infection. The different medicines prescribed set me on fire and did no good.
For the last 9 days I've been having really bad anxiety, to the point where I feel like it's going to escalate to a full blown panic attack.(I even had to take Atvian one morning :( )
My heart will pound so hard, I begin to shake and I literally feel like I'm losing my mind. Dr B adjusted my herbs 2 days ago but I still think it's too early to see changes.
Did anyone else experience anxiety this bad? I'm almost at the 4 month mark of treatment.
I forgot that today wasn't actually my 5 month anniversary, it was yesterday. But i was confused when I got up and I was happy to have arrived at that day. I felt lucky because I had an appt with Dr B and I also decided that I was going to celebrate my anniversary privately today by wearing something nice and being very nice to myself.
I've recently been on 16 SF a day with other herbs. Yesterday i woke up after 8 hours sleep and felt so exhausted. Today I woke up with a scratchy throat, which turned to a really sore throat, dry cough, post nasal drip, headache, backache, neck ache and, now, laryngitis. I am almost giddy that this could be die off and that the protocol is showing signs of movement for me. I do not know for sure if it's die off, though. I am a little sad bc Matia had me stop the SF for now and I feel kinda like I want to keep going and keep things detoxing! Ha ha!
I ordered all of the Bomasense stuff yesterday & could not locate the sunscreen. Since I can't go back on now & order it because of the ridiculous shipping charges, does anyone have any sunscreens that would be safe to use until I have another big order?..
