The IC Underground Blog

The IC Underground blog was started by Jill Osborne, Founder of the Interstitial Cystitis Network. It reflects "more" than just the status quo and/or official announcements that we usually see. We use it to reflect the more liberal tone of the IC Network. We are frustrated with the "conservative" IC movement because they forget that there are real patients involved. Imagine going to a conference where patient care is rarely discussed. It's as if we're an afterthought. So, this blog will be more patient focused.

ICN Founder Jill Osborne

A note from ICN Founder Jill Osborne - Every day we get emails and phones by the dozen asking "What's new in the IC world?" Our knowledge of IC seems to change and advance every few months and, if you're a smart patient, you'll make an effort to stay abreast of the latest news, clinical trials, research studies and, of course, new promising treatments. We offer three ways for you to do this: (1) ICN Subscriptions for our quarterly IC Optimist Magazine, (2) Our FREE e-newsletter, the oldest and most read newsletter on the web today and, (3) Our ICN Blog! As always, if you have any hot IC news or suggestions, we're all ears. Please send your ideas and feedback to me personally at: jill[a]ic-network.com
