    • About Me

      I have asthma, hypertension, fatty liver, inflamation of the esophagus (cannot take the medication to heal it any more), GERD caused by hiatus hernia, swollen glands for nearly three years and other symtoms which my GP suggests could be Sjogren's Syndrome. I also am now in the position whenever I take medication by pills I suffer bad urine retention. Once I stop taking medication I feel ok.

      Sorry, Linda - not been in the mood a lot of the time. Also, had a couple of weeks' holiday - trying to catch up with messages, emails, etc but my mind is all over the place. What about you?

      From starlightearthchild September 13, 2008

      I had the same experience. My cystoscopy revealed extra capillaries and blood vessels in my bladder wall and that was it. There wasn't enough evidence to meet the criteria for being diagnosed with IC yet I had all the symptoms. Just because there is no visual evidence of IC on the camera does not mean you are not dealing with a disease. I treated myself for IC and candida naturally and am getting well. What seem to be your symptoms?
