Hi, my name is Elizabeth Tamchina and I am one of those "fortunate enough" sufferers from Intersticial cystitis for 50 years by now (I am 75 y now). After years and years (about 30 years) of visiting doctor after doctor and paying for experimental drugs such as Elmiron etc. a fortune throughout the years. I finally got tired of all that about 10 years ago, because nothing ever helped. My question are there any new developments in this field of medicine to help people like me and what should I do or where should I start. Thanks.
