Hi all

Now I don't know if I have a UTI. Really bad bladder symptoms. We are not having intercourse right now, so I don't know how this could have happened!

Pain continues after urination. Feel kind of flu like. Major frequency. I am going to stop bifido tonight to see if that helps.

Is it worth getting the home AZO test kit?? Do those give false positives?? Would it be a good idea to get a urine test first thing tomorrow for information to give Dr. B?

Thanks!

Hi Mimi ... whenever I feel really bad (flu-like and a lot of bladder pain) I go to the doctor and give a urine sample. But make sure if the test shows white blood cells that you also make them culture it!! Many times in the past I would show high white blood cells and yet my cultures would come back negative a few days later. I took so many antibiotics for nothing. I hope for you it isn't a uti and just a flare. Every time I have a really bad flare I think I have a uti, but it never is. Feel better soon!

Recently and still dealing with similar stuff. Went to the Dr. just to be safe! I had WBC's and they cultured, but negative! If it would make you feel better you could get tested just in case, but probably just a flare with die off! I hope for your sake! Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks you guys. I guess it is probably not a UTI. I hope I can get to the bottom of it. I can't take care of my kids when it is this bad :(
 
Christina, hope you are feeling better and don't have such strong bladder pain anymore??

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.

Mimi,
 
This happened to me a few months ago and I had it checked by the doctor just to be sure it wasn't a UTI.  It wasn't.  It ended up being what Dr. B called a "healing crisis" that my body had to go through. It was scary and so painful, but after it was done, my bladder had a new normal that was better than before.  This is a possibility for you too. Keep us posted!
 
Sending hugs!
