This isn't really a family question but I couldn't figure out where else to post this.
How do people explain IC to friends, co-workers? I basically have told no one because it's too hard to describe. (I only told my boss I've got a chronic disease that wouldn't kill me, and he didn't pursue it any further...)
And I've always been pretty open with other items of a personal nature- I had problems with fibroids the last few years and had no trouble discussing THAT particular organ with anyone, even my male co-workers who I'm friends with. But I'm really uncomfortable discussing IC- and there are times when it would be nice to be able to talk about it, esp. when I'm feeling like crap.
Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks....
