Some women are in so much pain they can't leave their houses. I've had IC two times. Once for three months about 3 yrs ago and recently for about 2 months - now it's totally gone. It's horrible! Advil helps a little but going totally acid free and drinking d'mannose helped me. Hopefully, it never comes back, but good to know about the Aloe.

There are videos online of very young girls who are very sick after taking the HPV shot - it's so sad. Many of them can barely walk and have no quality of life.

My boyfriend now has neuropathy after taking Cipro - we have both listed it as a drug we are allergic to on our dr med records so we are hopefully never given it if we end up in the hospital for something.

My daughter and grandaughter would never take the HPV shot - my daughter is a kinesiologist and questions everything.
