Well, I have been feeling extreemely normal since last Fri, now not so much. I was up last night a 1am and started feeling anxious. It only got worse from there. I didn't sleep well at all due to this and felt like my mind was playing trick on me sending mixed messages that I had to urinate when I know I didn't . I was up 3 times! Thats a lot for me now. I fninally woke up and my stoamch felt upset so it was off to the bathroom with soft stools. Now I am peeing more that I have been in the last 4 days! I am so frustrated. Been taking macrobid and Detrol for almost 2 months! What is this? I just want my old bladder back!
I was just at the Uro last week and know I do not have an infection. This seems to be a continuous circle. I feel great, I don't. Has anyone experienced this? Does it go away? Could it get worse? I have spoke with my Uro about IC and she said that is not even an option for me. have only had 1 bladder infect in my life and this is what I have been left with. Only have frequency. Oh and I am a week out from my period. Does this play a part?

How does your Uro know you don't have IC? Did they do the cystoscokpy? ( I can't spell it right). Camera to look at your bladder. I never had any UTI when the IC first happened and mine started with ahving to pee a lot even when I knew there was nothing in the bladder. Maybe the meds you are taking caused the soft stool? IC is different for everyone. I was told there nothing even wrong with me in the beginning. No bladder problem at all and I never even had a bladder problem before this. I do know 1 week before and during my period it all gets worse. Peeing is more and the pain is worse. Do you have pain? ANy other problems then peeing a lot?
i know how you feel. I had the 2nd UTI of my life and ended up with persistent symptoms. (And also thought, i want my old bladder back!) Instead of your frequency, i have urgency. I agree with the previous post, get a cystoscopy. For me, because of the inflammation in my bladder from the infection, i always had that feeling that i needed to urinate even when i had just gone. this may explain your problems as well. check with urologist or gynourologist. it is treatable!
Thaks for responding. Since I last wrote I have been back to the Uro and my symptoms have improved. Only going 4-5 times per day, ) at night and bowels have eased up. Uro still says no to IC. I am responding well to the Bactrum and Detrol. I assume if it was IC, I would not have responded. She says that everyone is different and responds differently to UTI's. Mine unfortunately went on too long because I thought I just had to go alot. I had no idea it was an infection. I did not have burning or pain. This left me with a bladder that was upset. So the bactrum is healing the wall and Urethra. I will be taking it for 3 more months as well as the Detrol. I pray it makes me 100%. I am still having some sensitivity but not much but just want to feel 100%. I still worry about IC. I just pray she is right. I mean I shouldn't worry if she doesnt see a need to address it? She has never suggested I need any additional tests because I am improving. i will see my Gyno on the 9th of next months. I love her and will address any issues with her as well. I would love to know more ofv your story if you re-post. You said your symtoms were similar, what treatment were you given?
