Re: An IC Action Plan
I note that this was written in 2006 which was 10 years ago and that the treatments haven't really changed in 10 years even though the author was excited about the advances in research and possible eventual cures. I don't feel that any thing has advanced in the last 10 years. The treatments are essentially all the same and no real discussion of long term relief on the horizon.Comment

Re: An IC Action Plan
I just wanted to share that the doctor I fly my daughter across the country to see is one of the most prolific doctors in regards to IC. He is more hopeful than ever. He is hopeful that Liris and possibly AQX-1125 may actually pass fda approval. This would be the first meds in many years that have done so. He is excited about the MAPP Research project going on and feels that this is going to give them some very valuable insight in the years to come. He said more pharmaceutical companies are showing interest in getting involved. He sent me a really hopeful message recently and I do believe better treatments no doubt will be forthcoming in time."Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur."Comment

Re: How I Cope With IC - An IC Action Plan
If you mean how do you go about evaluation, you may need to see a physical therapist, but you can also ask the doctor who's treating your IC for a pelvic floor evaluation. It can also help to practice relaxing --- sometimes not an easy thing to do, but can be helpful.Originally posted by Borisnan View Post
