IC HOPE'S BOOK SUMMARY PAGE
 To Wake In Tears
Understanding Interstitial
Cystitis
Written by Catherine M. Simone aka
Cath767
This book is more
than just a story about a person with Severe IC who recovered. It is a
book about hope. To Wake In Tears is about how I got IC, how I came
to understand IC, and how I treated it in order to get well. It offers
dozens of physical and emotional coping tips, many alternative treatments
that you can try at home, and attempts to explain the various IC related
symptoms and illnesses. If you are looking for something to hand to
someone in your life who doesn't understand IC, so that you can say,
"Here...this is what it feels like. This is what I'm going through." I
think this book will help. Whether you have mild, moderate, or severe IC,
I hope that To Wake In Tears will help you to not only understand
your IC better, but to help you to get yourself well. |

 Awakening Through the
Tears
Interstitial Cystitis and the Mind/Body/Spirit
Connection
Written by Catherine M. Simone
This book
is the story of how I came to awaken spiritually while I was sick with IC
and as I was healing from IC. It's about how I learned to use the fact
that the mind, body and spirit are connected in order to help me heal and
how I came to understand the question that I think we all come to ask. Why
me? Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? If God is
up there, why is He allowing all this to happen to me? Why does it seem
like He is not hearing my prayers or helping me? Uncovering the answers to
these questions (and more) was all a part of my healing and became a part
of this book. This book also includes a discussion of physical connections
with IC that have not been previously addressed elsewhere. If you
experience anxiety and/or feel there is a hormone connection with your IC,
this book is especially for you. Actually, this book is for anyone who has
IC and has ever wondered why they have it, for anyone who has ever asked,
"Why me?" . I hope this book helps you to answer that question.
