Okay, so my cystitis is an on going problem i've had all year. It's non bacterial so cant be treated with anti biotics. i've been taking cystopurin (and other brands) sachets EVERY DAY and i'm worried to take more in case I a) get immune and B) they're starting to make me feel sick because i've been drinking them every day.
It's not a bacterial infection, so its not a Urinary Tract Infection.
I have my suspisions about BV, i've started using BV gel but so far, no major improvements.
Does anyone know anything about Uthethritis or Urethral Syndrome? I'm suspecting those now too.
My doctors haven't been helpful, i've had numerous hospital and GP appointments but they haven't fully looked in to me even though i've been going almost every week for a year.
Does anyone have any advice on how to cope or what it might be? Or even anyone gone through something similar?
P.S
I drink at least 5 pints of water a day
Cranberry juice and suppliments don't work for me
I keep up personal hygiene
Wear cotton underwear
Don't use any soaps or anything 'down there'
Don't drink alcohol anymore
Avoid acidic foods and drink
(Just in case people ask if i've tried these!)
Thanks so much in advance!

Is it mainly frequency or pain, soreness, burning, you can get all that with i c, and thrush fairly common along with it. There is more info on c.o.b site about ic and different bladder urethra probs. If youve not had cystascope ask your gp to refer you for one, l know its not easy with some gps to get a referral for manner of consultants tests, but keep at them. Good luck

Anyway thats settled quite well now, but stick to new diet supplaments.
l recall an old friend saying to me `well your just greedy, when l told her of latest, she wasnt being nasty, just a bit cheeky tongue in cheek, it does seem like that at times to me, But as you know once you get one allergy immune prob you get others, near everyone does it seems. My sons are adults and live away, though still worry if theyve probs, but at home just me and pets, its often the health probs that cause the stress also, and money of course, lack of it, but others worse off than me, There was no net when l first started with ic symptoms, so no idea what was causing it, relied on gps, and theyd no idea, misdiagnosis, bad experiences, l might have found out years earlier if there,d been a site like this, its good for info and advice. l think l,ll refer gps to it!, let us know how affective instills are, best wishes.
