I always look here to see if anyone is nearby me but no such luck for a over year. Thought I'd get it started in case someone else was just looking and hadn't posted where they are from. Love to talk with others who are nearby!

I only went back once after my hydro last year. Ill not mention the guys name because he scared the crap out of me. I didnt get put under nor did I get any meds when he did the hydro. I tried another doc at a different clinic, but no luck with him either. I think Ill try that guy in Dekalb if I ever need to see a doc for IC. I just hope it would be worth the 3 hour drive.Meds: Percocet PRN; Pyridium PRN. First symptoms Dec 2005. Diagnosed in March 2006.

IN in Newburgh
I am a 3 year IC patient, but just recently joined the Network. I live in Newburgh. I am currently in a huge flare and would love to know who treats you. I really like my doc, but would be open to someone else who maybe specializes in IC.
