If you have a story to tell that you feel could help another
IC patient, think about submitting it to the ICA Voices of Hope Blog. Your
story could very well be the story that helps another IC patient. If you’ve
been helped by anyone in you IC struggle, think about “paying it forward” and
share your story; you just might help someone else with IC. Pay it forward;
tell your story of successes, no matter how big or small. You never know what
kind of impact you can have another person!
I have been an Interstitial Cystitis (IC) patient since 2002. Since then I also developed a rare lung disease and had a life saving Lung Transplant (Nov. 2014). I decided to create this blog to share my journey through IC and Transplant and hopefully help others as they deal with either IC or Transplant. This is meant to be a place of support, information & encouragement.

VOICES OF HOPE!
If you’re looking for a little inspiration to help get you
through some tough times, look no further than the ICA website’s page, the ICA “Voices
of Hope Blog”. This page is devoted to
stories submitted by IC patients of their struggles with IC but how they have
managed to focus on the positive things in their lives, what they have to be
grateful for and coping strategies to help them fight their IC. I find this
page to be a great source of inspiration. I would like to encourage others to
submit your stories of hope, strength and courage to the ICA as well. There can
never be enough stories to help us all keep fighting our IC battle every
day. I find these stories inspiring and
very helpful to me. It puts me in a different mindset. So much of living with
chronic pain and illness can be helped with learning coping strategies; working
with a therapist and hearing others tell their stories.
