Can you imagine how great it would feel to walk into a room filled with others who understand exactly what you’re going through?? Having IC is difficult at times… and doing it alone is unnecessary. Why recreate the wheel and try to figure this out on your own when there are dozens of independent IC support groups around the country who are waiting to help you! They will help you learn more about IC, about resources in your area and, most of all, to make some great new friends! Don’t suffer in silence at home, alone. If there is a group near you, call the group leader and introduce yourself!
