o.k., I did a lot of reading on the interstitial cystitis, and it COULD be that, but maybe not, the symptoms could be indicitive of other things as well........this is a real pain in the neck! there has GOT to be some herb or whatever to deal with this, this is driving me nuts! this always gets worse when i'm in bed at night, i have to keep getting up to go to the bathroom, and a lot of times, there really isn't much urine. (sometimes there is) - i wonder what ELSE this could be?
