Support Group in Portland Found, Yay!

[ICandVVSsucks]

The IC Support Group of Metro Portland Area
Group Contact: Holly Hickman
Phone: (503)232-7219
Email: bodyandspirit@hotmail.com
This new IC group is focused on patient support. They will begin "in person" support group meetings in late 2006/early 2007. In the meantime, telephone support is available.

I'm so excited! Just found this on this website.
I'm hoping it's active.
I have mild IC but have been suffering since I was in elementary school!!!!! Doctors finally gave up trying to diagnose it/me....until I got fed up and found a urologist in April 07 and went to her and was diagnosed. Since I have Vulvar Vestibulitis (since March 05 but misdiagnosed til I searched out a specialist in May 2006!!!) I ran across the connection with IC, online. I said: AHA!

So anyway, that's me in a brief summary. hehe.
