Awakening Through the Tears by Catherine Simone, details the connection between Interstitial Cystitis and mind/body/spirit. She has this to say to those of you still suffering from IC:

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 conected 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?

Uncovering the answers to these questions
(and more) was all a part of my healing
and became a part of this book. Like "To Wake In Tears" and
"Along the Healing Path", "Awakening Through The Tears" is
a discussion of IC from a holistic perspective.
It is not only about the mind/body/spirit connection, it is also
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.
