    Hi Ripley;  I am lucky, so far, in not having this symptom; but it is a common symptom of Fibro to get what is called Intersticial Cystites (I think that's how they spell the Intersticial.......meaning the muscles of the bladder)......others have spoken re same.....it does not show up with normal testing for UTI's, but has similar symptoms......I Think it can be treated/helped by increasing intake of fluids (if not other problems of fluid retention/high blood Pressure),, and taking Urine Alkalizers (which go under various names from over the counter.....eg Ural here in Aussie land)......plus other drinks like Grape Juice etc.............good luck.......Bron
