The IC Optimist is your source for the latest IC news and practical self-help strategies. This expanded issue of the Summer 2008 IC Optimist includes:
(1) Is a Natural Approach a Safer Way to Treat IC – ICN Editorial
One of the most frequent questions that I get in the ICN office is “How Can I Treat IC Naturally?” It’s a tough question. There’s an assumption on the part of some people that medications aren’t as safe as products that are herbal or “natural.” We cover a wide variety of issues including product quality, promised “cures” for IC and how to select therapies safely.
(2) Conference Reports – AUA 2008
Read the latest research highlights from the American Urological Association Annual Meeting, the largest international urology conference of the year.
(3) Conference Report - “Defining the Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes.” NIDDK International Symposium
Leading IC specialists from around the world came together in Bethesda, Md., June 16 and 17 at a conference sponsored by the NIDDK. The event was subtitled as a new beginning as researchers debated a few hot issues in IC right now: the potential name change, the connection of IC to other diseases and the possibility that IC is more of a centralized disease and less bladder specific.
(4) Conference Report – ESSIC 2008
The European Society for the Study of IC held their annual meeting in Rome, Italy this Spring. Read the highlights of new research presented at their conference in this summary.
(5) The Latest IC Research
(6) Self-Help Tip of the Month: Medication Side Effects
After a very scary and unexpected reaction to a new medication, ICN Founder Jill Osborne shares insight into medication safety, side effects to common IC medications and resources that you can use today to research your medications.
(7) American As Apple Pie: A Fresh Tastes Column by Bev Laumann
Leave it to Bev Laumann, the ultimate IC diet guru, to balance the science with something that we all need, great comfort food. In American As Apple Pie, she shares tips on finding apple varieties that can be much more bladder friendly and offers recipes on Apple Meringue and Fennel Scented Apple Cake. Enjoy!
(8) Alternative Vs. Traditional Therapies – An IC Lifestyles Column by Gaye Sandler
Gaye Sandler, author of Patient to Patinet: Managing IC & Related Conditions, shares her thoughts on the use of these two, often confusing, approaches to treating IC.
(9) Summer Friendly Recipes - A Selection of new IC friendly summeritme recipes contributed by patients!
(10) ICN Resource Guide - An updated catalog of the many resources currently available to patients around the world!
