I'm 20 years old and I live in Michigan, and I was just diagnosed with IC yesterday. Anyone else from Michigan?

[img]biggrin.gif[/img] Hi April: I am from MI. I live near Traverse City. Where do you live? I have had IC for 10 years and was only diagnosed 2 years ago. You are in great company on this site. I have not posted in a while because I was in remission. Now, it is back [img]mad.gif[/img] I also have IBS and vulvodynia. I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but you have come to the right place to get answers, and support. Hope to hear back from you. Mar [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hello Ladies from Michigan,

I live in Kalamazoo. When you live in Traverse City do you go to Muncy Hospital is that the name? I heard that is a real nice hospital. I have had IC for 16 years. I go to U of Michigan for treatment as the uro's here in Kalamazoo don't really know much at all about IC in general.

I am from Mi.,in betweem Lansing and Jackson. Actually there are alot of girls from Mi. here on these boards. Most are from the detroit area. Glad you found the site, not glad you have IC, but you will learn that its not the end of the world, even though it seems like it at first, it gets better. Hang in there, and if you need anything, just ask, we are all here for you now!!!!!! <img src="graemlins/grouphug.gif" border="0" alt="[grouphug]" />

Hi Vicky: The hospital in Traverse is Munson. Yes, it is a very nice hospital. My Uro is from St. Clair Shores, which is in the metro Detroit area. I have a Gyn. here in Traverse and she is familiar with IC now, I believe because of me. Also at my last appointment, she told me that her brother was diagnosed with IC. I haven't had to go for treatments for about a year now as I have my own biofeedback unit for PFD, and my Uro-Gyn gave me a years worth of prescriptions for my Elmiron. I made the mistake of getting off the Elmiron for about two months. I felt fine until this week. So I started it back up this morning. I hope it starts working fast. <img src="graemlins/lmao.gif" border="0" alt="[lmao]" /> It was great hearing from a fellow western Michigander.

Hi April, I live in Oak Park, north of Detroit. I have had IC for over 12 years and was finally diagnosed 6 years ago. I have been disabled, off of work for 5 1/2 years. I pray that you will get the relief you need, and that you find a treatment that works for you. If you ever need someone to talk to, who has been through alot of treatments, please email me. Take care, Dawn

Hi, born and raised Michigan girl here. I currently live in Holland, not far from the Lake. I currently do not have a URO as my insurance won't allow it, so I am not much help there. But I have had IC for almost all of my life (I remember IC flares as a kid) so I got this coping thing down (I must, I have not gone crazy yet). So you are not alone. Welcome to the group. Lisa

Hi April, I am 25 and live in Clarkston, MI near Pine Knob. PM me if you want...haven't met many people my age with IC yet around here yet. Good luck with researching IC. It helps to find out more and more about it (at least for me it does). Hope you're feeling okay.
