Paula Cobb is a patient advocate for women who have been misdiagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. She is a retired physical therapist who has dealt with bladder issues since the age of 5. In this episode, Paula explains so much about UTIs and IC and more that I can’t list it all!
- The bacteria and what they do to cause UTIs
- Why antibiotics can be the problem
- How a woman might suspect she has a UTI
- Why women have to be their own advocates still (how often have we heard that?)
- Castor oil! (Gramma, don’t say a word!)
- Menopause, catheterization and the elderly
- Procedures
- How we can reduce our risk of a UTI
Like so many women who face a health issue, Paula has made it her life’s work to learn as much as she can, stay informed and stay up-to-date about Urinary Tract Infections and related issues.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.
My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
