Anybody in NC?

I am so hoping to meet some people in NC (Charlotte area) to share IC experiences with...to encourage and support each other. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

I'm wondering if there is someone in West Virginia. I'm in Charleston, WV.

There is a handful of us in WV and there is even a support group that has been newly formed. Go to: http://www.ic-network.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=57;t=000090 and you'll see some of your fellow West Virginians. :) I think they are working on the next support group meeting for June or July.

Hello! I was wondering if there are anyone around south ga. I live here and can't find a decent dr and I would also thought it would be cool if someone did so then I wouldn't feel so alone. :confused:

Hi, this is my first post here. Not diag. yet but my gyn. and gastro. think I probably have IC. :( Four flare-ups since Dec.
Gastro referred me to uro at Duke but it turns out they don't treat IC at Duke. :confused: Got a referral to a uro in Greensboro but that's pretty far away from me...and I'm wondering about Chapel Hill.

Who treats IC in NC? There's no one listed in the physician registry. I signed up to be notified by email but in the meantime I'm wondering if any of you can suggest someone.
I could write a book about what all I've been through so far. :rolleyes: Actually had a nephrologist tell me if I didn't drink so much I wouldn't have to "go" so much. :rolleyes: :( Probably have Sjogren's too...in the process of many diagnoses and none of them are good. :(
Hope someone can help me out... :)

NC Stardust...Not sure who your recommendation was for in Greensboro, but my wife has been going to Dr. Robert Evans in G'boro for a few years. (We live in Durham). He is fantastic. I would recommend that you try to see him a few times if at all possible. We didn't have any luck with Duke or UNC either.

[NC Stardust]

SsinNC, that's the doctor I have an appt with. Small world, right? :)
Thank you for the info. I've heard good things about Dr. Evans and also that I'm lucky to be able to see him. :)

hi Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I am not new to IC I was diag. about 7 yrs ago. But I am sorta new to the area. I am really hopeing I can find someone to talk to. I live about 10 miles from the charlotte NC border I live in Rock Hill SC. But I really could use someone to talk to as I am going through a great deal right now and I need someone who may be understanding because my husband is definitly NOT. I am having alot of pain with the IC and I am going in for a biopsy cause the lymph nodes on the side of my neck (1 is the size of a grape and several others are swollen I have no infection and for some reason my thyroid level is very low. I have not been able to gain any weight for a year I am down to 93 and all I try to do is eat. I guess I am sorta scard cause the doc said he was concerned after he got my blood tests back ? I know that everything will be fine. But I just dont have anyone to talk to for 1 I dont know anyone here we moved here from Fla. Im sorry I dont mean to wine. But my husband used to be understanding I'm not sure what has happened. We have been together a long time high school sweethearts. 21 years now. My e-mail is eternity32fla@yahoo.com banghead hi
