It has a wealth of information on there including:

» Fowler's Syndrome
» Overactive Bladder
» Stress urinary incontinence
» Urgency and Urge incontinence
» Frequency
» Nocturia
» Nocturnal Enuresis
» Overflow Incontinence
» Post micturition dribble
» Prostate problems and incontinence
» Painful bladder/Interstital Cystitis
» Bacterial cystitis
» Urinary tract infection
» Childhood bladder problems
» Urinary retention and difficulty urinating

Here is the website address:

I was in Australia and that's when it first started.

After many tries with antibiotics they gave me an internal scan and put me on anti inflammatory, anti-histamine, amitriptyline and pain killers.

They gave me the scan to take back to the UK with me and told me to have a cystoscopy, this I did and the Doctor told me my bladder was inflamed. They told me to continue with the meds I was on and after a few weeks after the cystoscopy the symptoms stopped (that was in 2007) and I have been fine up until now, now I got back with the boyfriend again lol

I really don't mind how many pills i'm taking so long as I can lead a normal life
