There were dozens of fabulous entries with many different themes: funny, poignant, sweet, honest, ironic and angry. They each share a unique perspective about life with IC and did a wonderful job educating others about IC and IC Awareness Month. It was hard to pick some winners because there were so many.!
First Place – Bella Raine
Angry gnomes playing bladder piñata… a hysterically accurate description of an IC flare with bladder spasms! Oh we laughed with this one!
Second Place – Tricia Phillips
Some days we’ve just got to keep climbing that hill until we make some progress! You can do it and your IC sisters and brothers are standing behind you!
Third Place TIE – Jason Crandall
Powerful, evocative, mesmerizing, true! Love, Love, Love this entry!
Third Place TIE – CJ Baldwin
Well, honestly, isn’t this the truth! It is the all day, all night, needing to pee so you can never rest disease!
Honorable Mentions
Yup! When Elmiron costs a whopping $1000 or more per prescription, who can afford that?
Seriously? This is sooo true! Cats make wonderful heating pads and they always seem to know when we need them!
Yeah, you know that look. The “Oh No”.. it’s another IC’er expression. Mmmcmmm…
Like it or not, some doctors just don’t know how to, or want to, treat IC.
