Please join us in celebrating Interstitial Cystitis Awareness Week 2008, a week full of activities to help raise awareness for this little-known bladder condition and recognize the challenges of living with IC. This year’s theme is “When the going gets tough, could it be ‘123 IC’? Living with IC is tough. People with this painful and little-known condition need support and understanding. By increasing awareness of the symptoms most commonly associated with IC – Pain, Urgency, Frequency – which we call “the 123 of IC,” we aim to help people ask “could it be IC?” sooner.
This week, the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH), the Interstitial Cystitis Network (ICN) and Ortho Women's Health & Urology invite you to participate in the following activities:
**MONDAY, October 20
A brand new documentary on interstitial cystitis, produced by Healthy Body Healthy Mind, will begin broadcasting on PBS stations across the country, a follow up to a documentary produced a few years ago.
