Hi Diane,
I am in central Jersey (Edison, area) - but there are a lot of people from North Jersey here. In fact, I have met many that attend the IC meetings up in Englewood Hospital (led by Dr. Margolis.)

Hi K.,
I will post the next meeting here when I am aware of it. Did you know that there is an IC support group over at Yahoo?? You need to ask to register and be approved. MOST of the women (and a few men) are from your area(North Jersey). If you are interested, you can PM me and I will give you the link!
Dr. Margolis comes to all the meetings and will answer all questions about IC. The support group is WONDERFUL.....
Take care!

Hi Ginny,
I have not noticed any change in my symptoms with the supplements. I went through a horrible 4 month flare awhile back- the cycles of DMSO helped me greatly. I decided to try the supplements with my uro's okay after reading many posts that made them seem like miracle drugs!!If anything, I hope to notice an improvement after being on the supplements for 90 days (just like with any prescription meds....) How about you??
I am ALWAYS on Rt. 18 in East Brunswick heading to Lakeshore (I am an elementary teacher...) Who do you see for the IC?

You are thinking of Kathleen Murphy, I believe. No, she does not work with Dr. Ring. They both have offices in Westfield. I saw her for awhile.
The supplements are working out great for me. I have tried everything at least once. The supplements are the first thing to really help.
