Thanks so much I have learned alot from this site.

Hi DebraLee

I dont know if you could or not, but I had 2 of my former coworkers write up letters for me about my condition and how it affected my job preformance. They knew first hand and even saw me falling asleep at my desk. If you have any one that you worked with that wouldnt mind I can email you what my friends wrote if you would like. I do believe that helped me alot with the judge. Good Luck and let me know. LisaK

Something that helped myc ase Immensely with the alj was the letter I got from the ICA, it parallels the symptoms that we face as Ic patients with those of other diseases which are classified already. It really helped. Good luck, hope it all goes well for you!

I think you may need to copy things from the board or the ica they have GREAT information there also look at this website. www.findarticles.com (http://www.findarticles.com) then type in Interstitial Cystitis. This site is mostly of updates on new drugs or findings with ic.
Good Luck. wink
