Sounds like something a guy might catch from a wild weekend in Tijuana.

Hi,


My mom suffered with IC for 4 years and tried everything from all natural everything to the Intersteam eventually she ran out of options and into the right doctor that sent her to a Dr.Carl Klutke at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis.

She was examined and they found that she had hunters ulcers in her bladder. He immediately scheduled her for an outpatient surgery the following day where he placed steroids into each of those ulcers located in her bladder. This was the first week of March this year Within 2 days she was 100% better, I can not believe what a difference it has made I finally have my Mom back. So I have waited for nearly 6 months to see if it will stay as good as promised and she is still great!

Dr. Klutke says it's different for every patient but most patients experience relief for 6 months to a year. When the pain returns he just redoes the steroid shots and the relief continues. He also said in order for this to work you must have the hunters ulcers. I don't know if this will help you at all, but if this can help at all I wanted to share this information with you and maybe you can pass it on to someone else you know that is suffering with this.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Pisces

Having to bow down to convention or limitations is enough to make you want to scream right now, and you'll do your utmost to rebel in any way you can. Be careful about this because you could easily get on the wrong side of someone who has power or authority over you. It feels as though you're battling with forces that want to keep you under control, and you don't like it one bit.
