I received a package in the mail after subscribing to ICN. The intro letter says that the IC Network has 'more than 300,000 support sessions offered each month on our website'.
What does this mean?
What (where?) are the support sessions?
Thanks

Severe IC developed fairly quickly, autumn 2010.
So severe that I was bed-bound & on 160mg/day morphine to cope with torturous pain levels, and unable to function other than hospital/medical appointments, for seven months. Then, miracle of miracles, something started working. I am steadily lowering the methadone dose level. I have been far out of that desperate nightmare hell zone for several months now and continue to improve.
- Ranitidine (anti-histamine, H2-inhibitor) 300mg/day
- Methadone 9 ml/day
- Instillations:
- 40ml Kenalog (steroid for inflammation) 2 x per
week, along with rescue cocktail of heparin,
lidocaine, sodium bicarbonate
- 20ml Uracyst, monthly @ $100/per
- Depo lupron injections for endometriosis, monthly @ $88/per
Right here in the support forum! and our live chats, etc. etc.
