Thank you Dr. Stoll! TESTIMONIAL

Dear Dr. Stoll:

In my 8th month of pregnancy I ended up with what I thought was a bladder infection. It became so bad that I could barely stand up. No infection could be found. After two weeks the pain disappeared. A month after my delivery by c-section the pain returned and became progressively worse in a period of 4 months. I was tested and no infection could be found. After much research on the internet I became convinced that I had IC. Thank God I found your website. After one horrible evening, I was afraid I would have to live with bladder urgency and pain. I ordered the Stress Reduction and Relaxation workbook. I began the deep breathing, progressive relaxation and some meditation. Can you believe it? Within 3 days the symptoms were almost gone. Now, they have been completely gone for several months. Perhaps, because I had not suffered for years as some have, my symptoms left more quickly. At any rate, whenever I began to feel the tension, I began the deep breathing. I became aware that I was tensing my pelvic muslces (perhaps started in pregnancy to counter the pressure).....I am relieved at the change!

Many Many thanks for your insight and sincere concern for people's health!

Janna
