We love IC patients who step outside of their own struggles to reach out and help others. Here’s a young mother in England, Karen Pierce, who recognized a need for other patients struggling with chronic pain and, with the help of her local medical center, has started a support group. Their first meeting is this month! We say BRAVO!!!
