You're not alone in this. πŸ’™

Join us for IC Talk, a live one-hour patient panel hosted by the ICA, where people living with IC/BPS share their real experiences and answer your questions in a safe, supportive space. No medical advice β€” just honest conversation from people who truly get it. Ask questions live in a session that won't be recorded, so you can speak freely. A summary will be shared in the ICA's monthly newsletter afterward.

πŸ“… Tuesday, 10/27 | 6:00–7:00 p.m. Eastern

Register here: https://ICA_ICTalk_October.eventbrite.com
