Patient to Patient : Managing Interstitial Cystitis and Overlapping Conditions

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic, painful inflammatory disease that affects the bladder wall. An estimated 750,000 Americans have this disease. The multidisciplinary focus of Patient to Patient: Managing Interstitial Cystitis & Overlapping Conditions makes this book particularly helpful and unique. It is our goal to fulfill the needs of the many IC patients who suffer with more than one disease or condition. In order to accommodate these individual needs, our comprehensive book covers a broad spectrum of accompanying conditions, such as fibromyalgia and chemical sensitivity, as well as diet, exercise, massage, and traditional medical interventions.

Patient to Patient is a compilation of our personal experiences (from both a patient and spouse perspective), extensive up-to-date medical research, and shared stories from IC patients across the country.
