According to a new study of this disorder, fewer than 10% of women with symptoms of interstitial cystitis are actually diagnosed with the disorder, even though it severely affects their lives. Without a proper diagnosis, women with interstitial cystitis are missing out on treatments that might bring them some relief. As I describe in an article in the August 2011 issue of the Harvard Women’s Health Watch, interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder condition that causes recurring bouts of pain and pressure in the bladder and pelvic area. Individuals with the condition usually have an urgent and frequent need to urinate—sometimes as often as 60 times a day. The pain and discomfort...

There are certain facts that women should know about uterine fibroids.

If you’d like to learn more about her, visit her website at www.EileenFlanagan.com. Therese: What are five clues you should be letting go of something? Eileen: 1. You find yourself repeating the same complaint to different people. We all get frustrated from time to time, but it’s not good for our mental or spiritual health to wallow in frustration. I remember once I got irritated with another mother at my kid’s nursery school after she did something that inconvenienced me. I complained to the first mother I ran into, and then the second. When I heard myself repeating the story for the third time, it hit me that I was making myself more agitated, not less. I was also putting poison in ...

I say “unbelievably” because the research that comes to this stunning conclusion lacked a certain… validity. As Dr. Cheryl Olson noted succinctly on Game Politics: The concern here is labeling normal childhood behaviors as “pathological” and “addicted.” The author [Iowa State University's Prof. Douglas Gentile] is repurposing questions used to assess problem gambling in adults; however, lying to your spouse about blowing the rent money on gambling is a very different matter from fibbing to your mom about whether you played video games instead of starting your homework. So in other words, you can create your own Instant Mental Disorder ™ by simply...

I am in United Airlines Flight 95, Seat 20A, an aisle seat in the back of the plane. I hate aisles. I hate the back of the plane. I hate United Airlines. I am not in a good mood.Seat 20 A. This is My Space for the next 6 hours. It is the “space” I purchased from United Airlines (UAL) to transport my body from glorious New York City via Newark back to my home near San Francisco. My Space is about 16 inches wide, armrest-to-armrest. My knees are touching the seat in front of me even though I am only 5 feet 3-1/5 inches tall. The back of my forward neighbor’s seat touches my forehead if I lean forward a bit. So, I have cranked my seat “all the way back.” Now, my seat bumps my backward neighbor when he leans forward...
