I am not a big follower of Joel Osteen, but I saw this quote on Facebook and it made me feel good, so I thought I would share it.

"Every unfair situation, every sickness you’ve had to endure, God is saying, 'That is not the end. It is not over. I still have something amazing in your future."

Hello everyone,

Lately I've been a supporter of others on this forum, but this time I need some support of my own. After being completely pain-free for over six months, my pain suddenly came back with a vengeance right before Christmas.  Dr. Brizman thinks this is a temporary setback, but so far the protocol changes we've made haven't helped.

Can anyone rec some restaurants in Boston--I'm heading there for a long weekend?  I'm on list 2/3.  Thanks!

Hello all. Another long day in my life which has been so strange as of late that it feels as if it is someone else's life. Chronic knee pain that is stuck or moving glacially slowly has become the unfortunate center of my life. I am having to redefine many things- just a little while ago I was an active busy person- who knew how busy- and now it is quite different.

Hello. This is my first time on this forum as I was recently diagnosed with IC. This whole process began over 6 years ago when I thought I was getting UTI's monthly. I was away at college and was being treated with cipro at the clinic on campus. After years of "treatment", after I graduated college and came home, I asked my primary doctor to send me to a urologist. There is when I had my cystoscopy/bladder distention. My diagnosis was IC, and a very narrow urethra. The urologist said he would suggest I start coming in every 3 months for a urethral dilation.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I have my first follow-up phone appointment with Dr. B next week...and I was wondering what to expect. How should I prepare? I don't want to waste our time together. Any advice or suggestions would be great!

Thanks Claire
