Jill Osborne of the IC Network has battled interstital cystitis (IC for short) for many years.  The disease cost Jill her job, her health insurance, and her relationship with her boyfriend.  Alvin George (not his real name), the host of this show, has had issues with sensory urgency for a few years now.  Alvin was diagnosed in January 2015 with pelvic floor dysfunction.  Despite many months of pelvic floor physical therapy, he still has issues with urinary frequency and urinary urgency.  He has intermittently undergone PTNS (posterior tibial nerve stimulation) since late May.  Alvin feels Jill's pain to a certain extent.  Jill shares her story as well as some self-help tips for IC patients.  It is worth noting that soap opera legend Melody Thomas Scott has battled IC herself.
