How brave of you to post such intimate information about yourself. I'm sure that it must be a painful condition. If you just type the name of the illness into Google, you'll come up with quite a wealth of information.
You really should make sure you have a thorough physical. I see that there is a link to lupus? I'm sure your doctor has checked that all out, so perhaps I don't need to mention it.
I was worried for a second that you might feel more comfortable in the anonymity of the internet, but I realized that was silly of me. I'm sure you had the good sense to bring your concerns to a urologist.
Of course, I'm sure you're right. While it's not strictly a psychological problem, it probably has a fair number of psychological implications. I hope you feel safe here to share your feelings about your diagnosis. If this board is too general, I'll bet there are a lot of dedicated support boards as well. A google search should let you know that too.
Good luck, Pax.
