I received this beautiful email this week from a patient who had some very serious other health challenges in addition to her IC. I asked her if I could post this anonymously and she was very happy for me to share it with all of you. 

"Hey, I hope you are doing well! As I finished teaching six classes, running a staff meeting, picking up my kids and making dinner, I realized I was a bit tired and had a moment of total clarity—- realizing how much I have healed in 17 months and how incredibly thankful I am to have found your treatment. Even if I don't improve more than where I am at, I can live well with the quality of life I have. And yet…. I plan to stay "awake" and stay the course to become even stronger. Thank you– for giving me the tools to get my life back;"
