IC Optimist - Fall/Winter 2007 Edition

In this issue:

#1. Challenging The Old School Beliefs of IC With last Fall's international conference on IC, the divisions in the IC community continue to expand as 'old school' researchers resist new approaches to IC research, treatments and patient care. Dr. Matt Rosenberg shares his thoughts on new epidemiological data on IC that suggests that up to 12% of women could show early signs of IC. He believes that the early epidemiological studies used the wrong survey when they developed their population statistics. He also shares his current approach to treating IC in his clinic. Dr. Rosenberg is one of the up and coming young researchers who wants to look at IC from a fresh, new perspective.

#2. Young Patients Struggle For Care Stacey Shannon has offered a lovely article that shares the experiences of teens with IC, not only in finding urologists who will treat them but also in receiving caring treatment for their pain. Two young women courageously share their struggles and successes. We must all remember that there are no pediatric urologists who specialize in IC, as yet. This needs to change quickly so that all youth can receive and compassionate treatment. Shouldn't there be one research center that specializes in treating those under 18??

#3. Is Pressure Pain? Stacey also covers one of the true mysteries of IC. What is that strange sensation of urinary pressure that some patients struggle with? Is it pain??

#4. Why Smoking Can Prevent Healing Released late last year, the University of Florida has revealed yet more devastating effects of smoking on the human body, that the 4,000+ toxic byproducts found in cigarette smoke (and the smokers urine) actually prevents cell repair and healing. If you're a smoker struggling with IC, you'll improve your odds of recovery if you change this habit in 2007!

#5. Going Bananas May Be A Good Thing Though bananas are higher in potassium, they are bladder friendly for many patients. Bev Laumann, author of A Taste of the Good Life: A Cookbook for an IC Diet, shares her thoughts on bananas and offers a yummy recipe for Vanilla Banana Cream Pie.

#6 - IC Lifestyles - The Psoas Muscles and IC Gaye Sandler, author of Patient to Patient: Managing IC & Related Conditions, is back after a long evacuation and recovery from Hurricana Katrina. She shares an interview she completed with Liz Koch, author of The Psoas Book, that helps us understand, yet again, how muscle health can contribute to our bladder discomfort. Patients struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction should find this helpful!
