Kinda sounds ICish...if u have these episodes again find an IC knowledgeable urologist...there should be one at vandy.  If u can't find one...pm me,  I have one a couple of hrs to east at ut hosp.  If they are an IC knowledgeable uro, they knnow the mast cell connection most likely.  Had it for 12 yrs and without the help of a specialist don't know where I would be...also mine gets the connection. IC is not curable but treatable..and it is important to get treatment...mine is moderate indolent...take care
