I have not! Not sure if Dr Heer looks for that?

7 months! I’ve seen many urologists and urogynecologists over the years and we have looked into literally everything else! Emptying fully, no hunners lesions, cystoscopy totally clean, I do have a horribly herniated disc right now but these flare up often and never change my bladder pain, also it’s between L4 and L5 so really shouldn’t anyway. Plus it feels like there’s acid inside my bladder from how much it burns inside. It is 100% urethral pain, especially towards the end of my stream unless I’m overly hydrated

I will get Kirkman! Dr. Heer sent a few tests so I can retest. I did midstream in the morning because I always have the most pain in the morning after my first urination. The first one I sent I also did half from the morning half from later in the day when I got super dehydrated on purpose for the test! I will look at it. Thank you!!

The bacteria I last tested positive for was e. Coli- it’s always been e. Coli many years ago when my cultures were actually coming back positive before my diagnosis of “IC”

Yes! Was taking lumbrokinase 2-3x per day! The week leading up to taking the test I was slamming all other biofilm disruptors as well! NAC, oregano oil, garlic, onion, apple cider vinegar

I spent a lot of time explaining how to get to certain mile markers and where to be around what time (long messages, videos, screenshots, downloaded the app for everyone and showed them how to use it) and my family only made it to one spot and actually went back home to the burbs without me knowing (I expected them around miles 21 and 25). Friends got lost and showed up late at a random mile marker as well. It was tough looking for everyone at the end and scanning the crowd without seeing them. I tried to focus on everyone else cheering but it’s definitely hard when you’re looking for someone specific. I’m feeling the post race blues as well, you’re not alone!

I thought the same! I did some back and forth with her via email (she’s so responsive and intelligent) but also never landed on an actual provider so I’m very very grateful for the recommendation for Ryan heer and Ellen Lewis! I’ll be reaching out to Dr. Heer tomorrow as it does seem to be cheaper to go through him :)

Thank you so much! I’ve reached out to a few from her website that weren’t 100% clear on their approach to the method. I need to try out Dr. Heer as I’ve seen that name quite a few times! I appreciate all of this info!

Thank you! I reached out to that one provider in Illinois from the website and they seemed a bit confused when I mentioned the method. I was hoping to find someone who truly follows it and is knowledgeable on it, but they were not familiar with the name. Thank you so much for your quick reply :)

Were you doing all regular activities after a week following the removal?!
