Do You Know Enough About Your IC Treatment Choices (Interstitial Cystitis Network)

It always surprises me when IC patients call and say 'I've tried everything" only to discover that they've barely tried anything.. usually because they are relying on urologists who don't specialize in IC for their treatments. It's vital that you take the time to learn about treatments, not just by reading the web but also by reading credible, reliable books. If not you, then who should be making your treatment decisions? ICN President Jill Osborne shares some ideas!

Hello Jill I just watched your video on "do you know enough" I had a question on the antihistamines. How do you know if you need them everyday. How do you know if your flare is due to histamine or another food product or stress.
