Hi Vrae, I don't know if what I have is the same thing. I have cramping and sharp pains in my stomach and am going to see an endocronologist (sp?) next week to see what it is. I think it's my gallstones, but have had several urinary tract infections since my oopherectomy and hysterectomy so I don't know if my bladder has something to do with this constant pain. I may need to have an endoscopy done, and am going to check with her about this intestinal cystitis that Nanc has. I'm think my rsd has attacked my surgical sites on my stomach because they hurt constantly. Maybe seeing an endo specialist too may help you find out what's wrong. I hope you feel better soon. From your friend RSD RENEE.
