Hi everyone!

My name is Jennifer and I'm new to the forums. I've been a patient of Dr. Brizman since March 2013. I've checked the forums periodically, but I thought it was time to post.

For the gals that live in the area, would any of you be interested in forming a group? Think of it as a support/hangout group where we can meet up and do anything from going on a hike to just being there for one another and sharing what works for each of us. There's no pressure to even talk about IC, but we can do that too. I just think that getting together and being there for one another can help the healing along.

Let me know if any of you ladies are interested, I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Jennifer
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area but plan to be down to Santa Monica 3-4 times per year so would love to be able to see the group when I come down if that works out.
How are you progressing? Would love to hear how things are going for you if you don't mind sharing.
 
Tx!

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.

Hi Mimi,
That would be great. We can definitely try to set up something while you are in the area. I do hope we we can a establish group. I'm looking foward to hearing from other patients.
I don't mind sharing at all. 
I started off in 2010 with a lot of bladder infections and issues emptying my bladder. I also went through my fare share of doctors and after two back to back rounds of Cipro in  January  of this year, I developed IC. I was very fortunate to have found Matia very early on.  I quickly progress to list 3 in  a couple months and I was excited ! However, things have slowed down a bit but I don't mind. I understand that this will take time as with all things that are worth fighting for.  =)
 
*Big yawn*   Oh, it's bed time.
Hope everyone has a good evening and a very restful night!

I developed IC after Cipro, too. Wish I can hang out with you in LA and Orange County. :) Loong way from East Coast. :)

Blondy, whenever you come to the West coast, we'll make it happen. =) Near what city do you live by? if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Jennifer,
That's a lovely idea, I live in LA, and would love to get together and share some experiences, or talk about non-IC topics :)
