Straight Talk on Something Difficult to Talk about - from a Nurse Who Knows

You do not have to live with constant pain or embarrassment
When Wendy Cohan, a registered nurse, was diagnosed with the painful, chronic and often progressive disease, interstitial cystitis (IC), she experienced firsthand the frustration millions of patients with IC feel when attempting to find effective, lasting relief. Her extensive research and commitment to becoming well again led to her becoming pain- and symptom-free, with her work and sleep no longer interrupted. She is now dedicated to sharing this kind of life-changing relief with others.

A comprehensive, easy-to-understand recovery plan, accompanied by powerful success stories and the resources you'll need to succeed
Cohan begins by providing a clear understanding of how a diagnosis is made. She then explores the possible causes of symptoms, providing options for positive changes you can implement. She explains frequently prescribed medications and procedures and then picks up where common medical approaches leave off to discuss:
. food sensitivities, including the dramatic relief many experience from eliminating the dietary protein gluten, found in specific grains
. stress reduction techniques that can alleviate symptoms, including pain, urinary hesitancy and bladder and pelvic floor spasms.
. medicinal herbs, teas, and sleep aides that work safely and effectively to promote healing
. hormonal imbalances that affect women with bladder issues and pelvic pain

Cohan's techniques target not just freedom from pain and inconvenience, but also life-long, whole-body healing and well being.
