Re: Intravesical Alkalinized Lidocaine helps IC/PBS

I wonder how it would affect the pelvic nerves and the body in general if it was used via an enema?

A woman on the IC site cured herself by doing colonics.

They have been doing some studies and apparently there is a lot of cross talk between the nerves in the colon and bladder among other things.

Re: Spicy foods harmful for chronic bladder pain

That's interesting. I always knew that IC/CPPS is not a one organ disease, but I didn't know that the colon was involved.

Re: Stress a Main Component of Functional Somatic Syndrome

I've always said that a lot of the diseases mentioned are at least partly based on internal and external toxins. Too bad we aren't living 30 years in the future when we could use the information.

MALE PT in L.A. O.C. area

I like my PT, but thus far she has not been able to find anything out of the ordinary. I'm going to give this PT thing one more go, but I want to try it with a male.

Re: New Prostatitis Textbook

No offense Doc, but honestly I've had my fill of Uros and doctors in general. I saw my uro yesterday and after his allotted three minutes he told me in response to a question I had about this clenching symptom that is driving me nuts. "Honestly, I don't know." Then he stood up which is the...

Re: Childhood stress linked to inflammation in adults

I found this article fascinating. Being a very highly-strung, worry-wart, catastrophic thinking kind of man and having a horrible childhood where I suffered fifteen years or so of physical and emotional abuse, I have always wondered what caused what. It's like the proverbial chicken or the egg quest...
