I've had this book on my shelf for years but for some ridiculous reason only got round to reading it recently when my bladder issues started flaring up again, affecting my quality of life.
I agree with others that it's a shame the grammar/spelling wasn't proof-read but Tim writes so well that it didn't bother me (and usually would). His detailed, yet simple explanations provided great reassurance and comfort. I finally feel like my experience is valid and I am not imagining my symptoms nor overreacting.
By pure coincidence, Tim is a urologist in my city and looking back on an old discharge letter of mine, was actually based at the hospital when I last saw a consultant.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced cystitis or any form of bladder issues. Even if you haven't and you've just an interest, it's worth a read for everyone. It's not a long read and is written concisely without making the reader feel spoken down to. I'll certainly be using it as a reference from now on.

Thank goodness for this book. I understand now about my condition of IC which I have had for two years that stemmed from constant cystitis. I have a new urologist and am moving forward. Hopefully the tips you have given me will help and its good to know I am not alone.
