~1,000 days since feds ok'd oral fluid drug-testing rules—yet no labs are certified. Sufferers are still stuck without a clear path forward. We refreshed our Shy Bladder Drug Testing Rules page with the latest and how you can help: paruresis.org/us-shy-bladd... #shybladder #paruresis
It’s not too late to join us in Philadelphia!!! Sign up today for a live workshop to be held on March 20 - 22.

The IPA wishes you a very happy autumn! For those of you who suffer from seasonal allergies (like me), please remember that antihistamines can affect your bladder. If you notice a worsening of your symptoms, keep in mind that allergy medicine could be the culprit this season.
