The "Real" Natural Approach
To Improving Chronic Bladder and Pelvic Pain.
By Gloria Prater




Recovery is A Multi-Disciplinary Approach! Learn Self-Help Solutions and Conquer Chronic Pain Associated with Bladder and Pelvic Syndrome!

My name is  Gloria and I am advocate and a IC Patient in recovery who is passionate and committed to helping people resolve their chronic pain and get their life back. I personally know  what it feels like to be told "there's nothing wrong", but yet know, there is. I felt the hopelessness, depression and despair that one feels when living with never ending  chronic bladder, pelvic, genital, muscle and joint pain. Simple things like grocery shopping, playing with my children, or being in one position for and extended period of time became unbearable.  I lived in constant pain. Desperation drove me to find a solution. Today I am in recovery (please do not mistake that for cured) and I did it without drugs or surgery!

The New Dawn Pilates is a ground breaking DVD for patients suffering with painful bladder syndrome and chronic pelvic pain. I have been working out to the New Dawn Pilates video for the last several months and it works. The New Dawns Pilates is  original and a state of the art video that has several different exercise programs which are perfectly tailored to meet individual needs. This DVD is yet another great tool to help maintain chronic pelvic pain.

Pelvic Pain is one of the most common medical problems facing women today; however it is a condition that is rarely talked about. The International Pelvic Pain Society estimates that more than 10 million people suffer with chronic pelvic pain worldwide. In addition the National Vulvodynia Association reports that 16% of all women will suffer from vulvar pain in their lifetime. Besides proper treatment for pelvic pain, support groups are a very important part of healing. They allow individual who share common diagnosis to come together and offer one another support, identify with each others stories, as well as learn from each other. Finding a support can be difficult and for that reason we off you the IC Friends Community as well as an online internet radio support group were you can call in and not only receive support but give support.  If you would like to be a guest and share your story on our radio show (you have the option to remain anonymous) please send up and email: ic1031@icanonymous.com

Life Interrupted: It's not all about me
 
This self- help memoir made me laugh and cry aloud. The author is humorous, honest and I was moved by his faith in a higher power.  Reading this book made me stop, examine and take an inventory of my  "poor me attitude" and how it might be affecting my relationship.   This book isn't just for couples it applies to all.
