dont give up! there is hope for you!

hello everybody! thank you all for taking the time to share your knowledge and findings regarding IC. i appreciate the encouragement and support. i am also touched by the honesty of those who are suffering so badly that they either desperately need answers or they want to give up. my heart goes out to you. i know how you feel, but DONT GIVE UP! THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU! i have been battling IC for over a year now. i suffered terribly in the beginning stages, having to be driven to emergency several times. doctors had no idea what was going on. some of them made me feel like i was making it up. i was given meds that didnt work with side effects that were not even worth the risk. i googled my symptoms and came across CURE ZONE. i was relieved to put a name to my problem and deeply relieved that i wasnt alone. through continuous searching, i miraculously found a doctor who has been instrumental in bringing my pain level down from a 12 (10 is usually the worst!) down to a 5 in a short period of time. and it's all natural. her practice is called BOMA-MED and she (MATIA) is one of very few that specialize in IC. she is emotionally connected to her patients and you definitely will get the strong sense that she cares AND she knows what she's doing. she's in los angeles, but she has many, many patients that she helps long distance. she asks a million questions so she can provide you with a customized program for the stage you are in. immediate results may vary, but PLEASE be encouraged and know that IC will end by following the right treatment. i highly recommend that no one treat themselves. she charges $200 for the first time and $90 for following treatments, plus fees for herbs. i know its alot, but its worth the quality of life that we all desire. happy health to you all!
