IC and Getting Out of the Ditch: 4 Things to Remember

IC and Getting Out of the Ditch:  4 Things to Remember

Evolution and healing ICThe waves of IC experienced as flares mimics the ups and downs of getting sick  Most people with any disease can relate to the accompanying graph in which the illness acts like a wave pattern…..good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks, and even good months and bad months  Anyone who has experienced the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) can attest to this wave like dis-ease pattern  And why wouldn’t it be a wave pattern since the energy body expresses itself as energy or a wave pattern?

On Way Down the Curve….Healing

So it’s a bumpy ride up or wave like on the way up and it’s done unconsciously….unconsciously because we don’t know we’re making ourselves sick by lifestyle choices

Then there’s the crescendo where flares are pretty routine and expected

But now you decide to take matters into your own hands and begin doing this energy work  Now you begin your way down the curve and you experience good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks after a while but this time you’re releasing pent up imbalancing qualities such as hot, mobile, light, and perhaps heavy

So are you getting better?  The energy science answer is yes because you’re not introducing more imbalances qualities through better and more refined lifestyle choices  But these qualities which took time to accumulate take time to release themselves

How Much Time Does It Take?

It’s estimated for those as many as 70% of IC patients that they can get better on their own  This group doesn’t have a great deal of pelvic nerve involvement by qualities so a change in lifestyle behavior patterns may do the trick

But if the qualities happen to involve the deep tissues for a long period of time then it will take longer…..2months for every year of imbalance of the disease….and more importantly interventional therapies beyond lifestyle measures  This type of work requires a multimodal approach…..that is, many different things being done at the same time  And one group of therapies may not be the same as for another person because all imbalances are not created equally  The therapies are individualized to the person having the problem

4 Things To Remember If You’re in the Ditch

You’ll notice that there are  hills and valleys of the wave curve….and these valleys are what I refer to as ditches since you literally feel like you’re crawling out of one when you’re in the lows of it

1  Keep doing the foundational work  What this means is to continue to chose foods appropriate for your energy makeup and avoiding incompatible food combinations, observing bedtime and waking hours appropriate for your energy makeup, observing appropriate fluid consumption for your energy makeup, and exercising daily

2 Realize that releases make you feel like you’re going backwards  This is understandable but at the same time can be disheartening as you want the symptoms to get better with the work you’re doing

3 As you go through ditch after ditch they are not at deep and severe  This is great and makes you feel you’re making progress

4 Get plenty of rest as this requires a lot of energy expenditure  Healing is not easy and requires that the old qualities need to be mobilized and shed   This requires energy

Fortunately most with the IC bladder pain syndrome don’t have to go through what I’ve discussed here  But if you’re far enough along then this is worthwhile information
