Please mark your calendars for the premiere of MTV's True Life "I Can't Have Sex" which will air on July 22nd at 10:00 PM EST.  One of the participants is a woman who has been living with Vulvodynia and Interstitial Cystitis, which negatively affects her ability to have a 'normal' sexual relationship with her significant other. 

For those of us with IC and Vulvodynia, this show is yet another opportunity for us to share to a much larger mainstream audience the day to day facets of living with chronic and debilitating conditions.  Please let all of your family and friends know and be sure to watch this episode on MTV next month.  There are still countless people who have never heard of IC and related conditions (as well as those who do not believe that this conditions exist) so this is a great opportunity expand awareness, promote education and awareness and support people living with these conditions.  Perhaps you might have a premier 'party' at your home and provide only the foods that you can eat as an ICer as a way to show how IC affects you? 

ICers  Please check out this upcoming event hosted by the ICA:

Finding Better Relief: Working with an IC Healthcare Team” on June 5, 2010 in Nashville, TN.    

The event will also be webcast live so if you don’t live in the Nashville area you can still tune in and participate online and even pose questions to the presenters.
