Hi Avocadogirl, I am 19 now and have had IC for probably 2 years now. I have been in remission for 8-9 years and believe i suffered IC as a young girl. Now it has returned. I would LOVE to get in touch with you and hear about your journey. I am well onto the natural path and have lost all faith in the medical system after so many stuff ups on their behalf. Please let me know your email and i'd love to get in touch
