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.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Thank you, Wendy Cohan, for doing your research - new answers are available for women and men in pain and the doctors who treat them! So much more is known now about the debilitating condition of interstitial cystitis/pelvic pain syndrome. Thousands of women are suffering, looking for answers beyond the minimal help that's been available for years through traditional medicine. Wendy Cohan covers hormones, gluten intolerance, bacterial connections that take some work to discover, adrenal connections, pelvic floor dysfunction and more. EVERY doctor and bladder pain patient in the country needs this resource - don't miss what's been discovered in just the last 5 years. The Interstitial Cystitis Association won't tell you about some of these causes...don't suffer any further when answers are becoming available.
