Around Christmas time I was coming back from my moms in tn to my house in la and I had about the hours of the drive left and it was getting dark and it was only me and my LO so I thought well I dont really get out to go to the bathroom since it is so dark, so I held my urine and when I got home and finally used the bathroom I felt like I was on fire, and I just thought great, uti! Well to make a long story short, lets fast forward I went to the doc several times and was put on antibiotics, like rocephin, cipro, macrobid, and a couple others that I cant remember. This was over the course of beginning of jan to end of feb...they were giving me medicine even though my urine showed clean and they couldnt grow anything on my culture, well I went to a urologist and he told me I had urethritis and gave me a week antibiotics (he had done a cystoscope) he said that the uretha looked irritated...well something just really didnt click well between me and him, so I went ahead and took the meds but decided that if it didn't work then I would just look for anothe uro. Well the meds didnt work, so I went to a different uro and he done the interstitial cystitis test on me and I tested neg, it is where they administer potassium into your bladder and if you have ic it supposedly agonizing pain. But it is very possible that even if you dont have it your test can still come back neg. well anyways he put me on 3 months of antibiotics (macrodantin) and he told me that he thinks I have chronic cystitis, and that I needed a long term antibiotic to treat it, I have been on it a month and I already feel a ton better , but as of today I feel it again, which I do feel it every once in a while. Everytime I feel it though I start feeling like oh no, what if this is a set back?! The pain was unbearable at one time, before I got on these antibiotics and I was taking Lortab for the pain. I guess my question is, why would bacteria show up in my urine if it is so bad I need 3 months antibiotics?? I am also scared that once I am off of them it will come right back? Has anyone else had anything similar to this?? TIA
***Also this week I have been on my period, and I have felt worse? Any Idea?
