Smile Newsweek Magazine!
There is a small article on IC in the newsweek magazine I received in the amail today! The magazine has a large section of articles devoted to women's health issues. I found the IC info to be very accurate.

I just received my issue today & logged on tonight to see if anyone else had seen it. Good job, Newsweek!!

For those wanting to see the article, it's in the May 10, 2004 issue & is about 1/2 page long. It's tucked into an article titled "Incontinence" (you won't see it in the Table of Contents).

This week's favorite one-liner:
"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by...

New second favorite:
"And which dwarf are you?."

Adding a third because I'm just so darn easily amused...
"Eagles may soar, but weasels aren't sucked into jet engines."

Current treatments:
-IC diet
-Elavil 20mg at night
-Ditropan 5mg at night
-Continuous use birth control pills (4-5 periods/year)
-Heparin/Marcaine/Sodium Bicarb home instills every night & sometimes in the morning also
-Pyridium if needed, usually once a week or so
-1 Darvocet at bedtime,
-Flexeril 10mg at bedtime
-Dye Free Benadryl for allergies occasionally
-Pelvic floor & myofascial release (external only) physical therapy for 8 weeks, then home exercise program...
-Managing stress
-Fur therapy: Hugging the cat!
