years of wondering what it could be

Post a new topicby yearsoffrustration on Mon Aug 27, 2007 4:54 pm

I don't know which forum to post in because no one knows what (if anything) is actually wrong with me. I've always had a problem with (what I think is) my bladder. Actually if I shut my eyes and try to visualize the area, the urethra comes to mind. Sometimes I'm totally fine. Sometimes I feel like I have a bladder infection (same symptoms) except no burning.

Usually I cannot sit at the computer more than an hour or I feel irritated. (down there)
7 years ago I saw a urologist who did exhaustive testing, scopes, the who sha-bang. Nothing. They put me on Detrol LA and that made it worse.

On and off it bothers me but early this month I went in for a bad UTI Had alittle blood and high leukocytes and bacteria. On Macrobid 7 days. 8th day felt the same with no burning. Went in to another dip test. Came out as 2+ blood and trace protein everything else normal. No bacteria.
She put me on a different med just in case for 7 more days.

Felt great all through the meds and then again, 8th day felt bad again.
Any suggestions on what to do next? (Currently drinking only cranberry 100% concentrate diluted with water and cranberry supplement. AZA works well but I can't stay on that forever.)

My gyn says I may just be 'one of those people' with chronic hematuria.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
