After suffering for 9 mths with recurring UTI'S i seem to have cured myself. Had cystoscopy then extended cystoscopy with nothing found. was on Nitrofurantoin and Macrobid . I was asked to have a trial off antibiotics so i took a one dose antifugal tablet (diflucan) with a daily dose of acidophilus to strengthen my immune sytem and cranberry tablets plus DMannose capsules. i started by 3 capsules of Dmannose for a few days. I also used Echinacea and a multi vitamin tablet.

i had a glass of water with every tea or coffee. i did noice if i didn't have enough fluid it felt as though i was getting the early symptons of cystistis.. I am menopausal so there is a link between oestrogen and uti's. it was sugested to use vagifem pessaries twice weekly. I hope this helps anyone  It has been an awful 9mths with frequents visits to A& E's and hospital appointments. I was also advised to use decaffinated tea and coffee.

      my sister had intertestinal cytitisis and was treated by a gynaecologist with a special interest in urology . she advocated the use of vagifem pessaries  after menopause.  good luck.

    Hi Julie,

    I have got the same problem right now, been going on for well over 4 months now, i think i have tried every antibiotic going.

    Going to get an emergancy doctors appoitment on Monday morning and see what other avenues i can go on. I am on the menopause have been for a few years.

    I have started to drink loads of water to day to see if i can flush it out and if i drink any bloody more i will grow fins lol.

    I have now swapped to decaf coffee and tea but it does not really do anything.

    I hope you don`t get any more flare ups as it can make you ill.

    Best Wishes.

    Sylvie
