Testimonials

Thank you for being there for me during such a rough time in my life!!!

Your 1-800 number is priceless.

Keep helping people!

Kathy, February 2018
Not only do I want to thank you & your team for everything that you do but I wanted to thank you personally. You took the time to talk to me for over an hour. You brightened my day when I was feeling hopeless. It’s such a comfort to know you & the ICN are there for support.
Diane P., July 2014
I suffered with IC and PFD for about 8 years before I found a doctor who believed me and is treating me. Over those 8 years you and the IC Network were my life line and an amazing source of strength and hope and continue to be. Thank you so much for all you did and continue to do.
Cathy, July 2014
I firmly believe that the Interstitial Cystitis Network has educated me more than any doctor or nurse. At times I think I’ve intimidated my doctors by the knowledge I’ve gained from the site. Your site definitely empowers all of us who suffer with this horrible disease.
Savannah, Sept. 2013
I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the ICN and you over 12 years ago when I finally found out what was wrong with me!! I think you are doing Gods work for so many!
Shelby, June 2011
The ICN videos are EXTREMELY helpful, if not LIFE CHANGING. Extremely smart, well researched information. EVERY urologist office should have a big flyer advertising this website. Thank you so much for what you do!!”

I really wanted to let you know how helpful the ICN website is. Having IC has been rough, but I have learned so much from your site (good tips, info, coping strategies). Way more than I ever learned from my uro! I know my symptoms have improved partly due to things I have learned from your site. Keep up the good work!

I watched a few of your videos on YouTube – on behalf of a friend who says he has suffered excruciating pain and discomfort for years. We’ve gained from your references. I just wanted to thank you for your such consummately sensible, humane help to so many others…. You are producing guidance that is clear, relevant, down-to-earth, useful and good-hearted.
Bruce H., August 2009
I will never be able to thank you enough for getting me through so many horrible times. I go into remission for years at a time so I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. However, I’ve had a few flares in the past couple of months and I always know who to turn to in the middle of the night.Your site is better than a heating pad.

I don’t know how I would have made it thus far without all of you wonderful people. Just knowing I am not alone is the best relief I could have ever asked for. If I get scared, am hurting, or just need comfort, I know you are always there.
Phyllis, ICN Support Forum Member
I’m SO excited about the information in your food app. I am encouraged now I can live a normal life and eat again.. Thank you for your website. – September 2015
Jill
I want to thank you for that day you gave me hope ….the day we spoke I had been in constant pain for so long and taking such strong pain meds I was ready to end my life. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t taken the time to guide me through the next step in my journey to find a solution to the suffering…
RH - Nov. 2015
Fabulous, amazingly helpful website, I’m so grateful it exists. Thanks for all the hard work that went into it.

I believe that without you and the IC Network , I would have spent an incredibly miserable life in unrelenting pain. I am sending you a heartfelt thank you for all of your help.

JP , June 2017

I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran. My pelvic pain was miserable. Your article on PNE was heaven sent. It changed my life, that’s for sure.

MT, April 2018

You’re everything an advocate should be – kind, compassionate, patient, brilliant – and so much more. Thank you for helping my daughter navigate the dark waters of IC. We love you!

Staci Willey, April 2019

I have found the live IC support group meetings and the website itself incredibly informative. I am much better able to advocate for myself, especially during a recent hospitalization with staff who were uninformed about IC. My bladder is starting to feel better and am grateful for Jill and the ICN.

Nancy K, ICN Member - December 2019

Thank you for making the IC Network website. Without it, thousands of women and I would have lost all hope.

IR , October 17, 2021

I’m extremely grateful for the return call today from Jill Osborne and her insights, wisdom and suggestions; as well as encouraging discussion
