Hello Florida IC Sisters... I was diagnosed with IC and pelvic floor dysfunction and would like to know if there is anyone in the Naples/Fort Myers area that is also dealing with this. Thanks

Hi there Renee, So very nice to "meet" you!!!
I've been a member here for a while now, earlier I was just PMing someone then decided to quickly check the new posts. I almost wasn't gonna cause I'm HURTIN and am gonna get off this thing for now. But I did, and what a surprise to see your post at the top of the list! (I tried to reply right away, then I couldn't get on for a couple of hours.)
I just moved from Fort Myers to Cape Coral (southeast part)!!! Now that's CLOSE, and I've never heard of anyone closer! I have IC, PFD, and possible Pudendal Nerve Entrapment/Neuralgia. I'm suffering immensely, and am so excited about meeting someone on here that's close by! Please girl, PM me anytime! Hope to talk to you soon!
Hugs to you my neighbor

I just thought I would let you know I stay in Fort Myers and also attend Cyprus Lake High School when I was 17 years old.
I am from Canada and my parents went every six month of the year to Florida , we also live in Cape Coral so all of this is bringing lots of memories back to me.
I did meet lots of friends and did keep in contact with them for years but lost contact with them all, I would love to be able to get to see them again too..but I know it is hard as many of them are now married and have new last names so it is very hard to find them now..
Cheers, Debbie
