  • A BIG thankyou

    Hi everyone, I feel i want to take the time to thank you all. Let me explain...For about 2 years now on and off (Mostly on) i have suffered from what i and my doctor assumed were bladder infections. Recently however the burn and pressure i was getting was becom ing constant and painful to a point i was unable to function properly. Once again i visited my doctor, sample was clear and although he mentioned a visit to a urologist in passing more antibiotics were pushed my way. (this would also mean another bout of thrush due to these). In my despair i came home minus antibiotics and searched the internet.
    This my friends is where i stumbled upon you guys. After reading only a few i sat and i cried. Why? firstly because i felt this was where i was going to find all my answers, and secondly because of the courage that you all show.
    As you will all know, no one can fully understand what you are feeling unless you have been there. I often log on to see how every one is doing, because even though we don,t know each other i feel i have a thousand new best friends.
    Any way because i am rambling on i will draw to a close, but not without saying a hugh thankyou . Without you guys i would still be suffering and banging my head against a brick wall as far as my doctor is concerned. I have changed my diet on your reccomendations and have had great results. I wish it could be that easy for so many of you who are still suffering (i feel guilty that you all took the time to offer your advice which has helped me and you still have to deal with it).
    LOTS OF LOVE AND LUCK TO YOU ALL THANKYOU AGAIN WILL KEEP IN TOUCH
