Ok here's the problem, i have always had BIG problems with dehydration mainly off my own back from not drinking enough fluid, but recently i have been drinking alot of fluid as i recently had sex with my boyfriend and thought the cystitis i had day after was a reaction to the condom, but it went after a couple of drinks of cranberry juice :) but then came back again the next day, and each day it goes and comes back, i have been having cystitis for as long as i can remember but never to this extent as normally when i've had it, it goes after i have rehydrated my body. I know for sure it isnt a water infection as i have also had that. And i am regularly checked for STD so i know i am clean. Any ideas? As it is rather expensive buying cranberry juice by the lorry load.:confused:

If you don't have an actual infection there is no need for cranberry just more water and less caffeine you are having reoccurring infections though you need to be put on antibiotics for it to go away because cranberry is a helpful preventative NOT a cure.

HOW were you diagnoised? have you seen a Urologist? I use to have constant bladder infections & pain in the bladder..I tested negative for infection & dr sent me to have a "Cystoscopy" turns out i have I.C. (interstitial Cystitis) i had to change my diet..acidic & spicy food agrivate it.(& caffiene) & i take meds (elmiron) every day.
the WORST thing i can do is drink cranberry jiuce.....its like rubbing salt into an open wound!~ oowweeee :eek:
good luck
