Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Dear Group, A while ago I posted the symptoms of a young woman and asked for ideas about what could be causing these. They are a leaky bladder (she voids her bladder about 25 times a day) and constant severe fatigue. Someone suggested that these might be symptoms of MS but the young woman doesn't have any of the other symptoms of MS. If it were MS she would be having balance problems and she does not have any other problems. These symptoms have been with her for over a year now. She has been given bladder stress tests and blood tests and nothing abnormal has shown up from these. The doctors do not have any idea what is wrong and, as you can imagine, the young woman is getting discouraged about feeling exhausted all the time and having to get up to go to the bathroom 10 times a night. We have researched the problem on the Internet. It isn't fibromyalgia or cystitus or lupus or chronic kidney infections. She is to see an internal medicine doctor next. In the meantime, what do you think might be the problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise her to obtain only the dandelion leaves. Flora offered the dandelion leaf in tea form, however I'm not sure if they have the specific tea available at this time. Dandelion root is beneficial for many other ailments, but unfortunately the roots do not provide any benefit for bladder problems. There is one other tea as well, which I am listing for you. They have an 800 number on the USA website and the service is excellent! Flora therapeutic teas are the very best combinations that I'm aware of!! I use them frequently as the need arises. UraTone Tea http://www.florahealth.com/flora/home/usa/products/TGU3.asp? CategoryID=96 & ImageFlag=1#65127 Works as a diuretic and helps rid the body of toxic fluids. Stimulates kidney function and strengthens the urinary tract. Ingredients: cranberry fruit, uva-ursi leaves, birch leaves, juniper berries, winter savory, parsley seed, anise seed, calendula flowers, heather, knotgrass, linden flowers, peppermint leaves, rose petals, rupture wort, sweet everlasting, yarrow. _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest DietaryTipsForHBP www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Genes.
