Thanks for replying! I love to hear other ppl's experiences and I have
learned so much since I came here. The bathroom thing is really
annoying-I think I may just go to see what they would say-luckily for me
I don't need a referral to see a uroligist with my insurance so I guess
it can't hurt. Sorry to hear the med stopped working for you-what a
disappointment, good luck with finding something that does work-I wish
you well.
