Hello all, I'm in awe of what you all deal with and have been dealing with for so long. I fear I'm not as brave or wise!
I've just had a month of this (no diagnosis yet)...basically desperate urge to urinate all the time (during the day)...and pressure in the bladder.
My dr gave me first round of antibiotics but a few days later the test came back negative...he said to keep taking them anyway. A week later...all still bad so 2 more types of AB's taken at the same time...still nothing showing in tests.
And finally I went back last week - he did a scan of my uterus and kidneys and all looked fine. He couldn't do a scan of my bladder as it wasn't full enough. He gave me more AB's....reassuring me that sometimes infections don't show up. The seemed to work after 3 days but now symptoms are back (after another 3 days)....I still have 4 more days of tablets.
He said if this AB's didn't work he would do some sort of inflation of my bladder under GA.
I'm so scared....I'm hoping this is anxiety. I have to go the loo all the time but I don't have any burning pain, I don't have to get up at night (well maybe once)...is there a chance this isn't IC?
