i'm glad the detrol works well for you. detrol did not work for me at all. it made me veryyyyy sleepy. it took effort to wake up and i felt like i had been drugged. i do take cranberry pills. while they haven't cured the problem, it has been much improved. i especially enjoyed your humor. sami -- On Thu, 7 Jun 2001 17:31:01 B.BRUCE ANDERSON wrote: >....GONE!!
