Hi all,
Its been a long time since I've posted here, but I thought I'd stop by and tell you all about the good news I heard today from my urologist. (I'm not sure where exactly to post this, so I ended up here!)
My uro (Kaufman in NYC) just got back from some IC conference where he said some researchers finished a study that was able to identify a defective protein in IC patients urine that was not present in non-IC patients urine. He is currently getting ready to start a second study to try and prove this... but he was pretty excited. It would be so great if they could use this as a new (easy! painless!) way to diagnose IC, as well as figure out the cause and come up with new and better treatments.
pretty cool, huh? :woohoo: :woohoo:
