Jeff,  Is it possible that maybe... maybe... there is scarring in the bladder?  
although dmso is supposed to
help with scars.  Or... maybe the bladder just isn't as flexible (expandable) 
as it once was?  I am with yourwife..lol.. just being able to live with some 
normalcy and being pain free can be heavenly.  It will be veryinteresting to 
see how much healing has happened since your last doctor visit.  I would love 
to see thatdoctor's face and what his response will be when he compares the 
before and after. Lola

-->My wife and I thank you all for your encouragement and responses. I have 
been documenting our journey just in case this worked so I could hopefully help 
others. We still have a long way to go but there is no pain and the CS I make 
does not hurt her in any way and never did from day one ( unlike the silver 
protein the doc prescribed ) so we are hopeful for an eventual full recovery.  
The reason I am upset about the being stuck at 4oz is that 4oz is only twice as 
much as the doc could do before cracking and bleeding would start. I think a 
healthy bladder will hold at least 16oz and we were wanting to be at 8oz or 
more by the time we go see the doc in Feb. We are excited about that visit 
because we are going to request a cystoscopy and we want to hear there is no 
evidence of lesions or hunners ulcers both of which she had and we have 
pictures of. That being said, my wife has even told me that she is happy if it 
just stays like it is.
