I am having a difficult time believing what is going on.
I am on a strict IC diet. I normally feel burning and pain, but my last 2 days include severe burning, even on the azo, affecting my sleep, decreased appetite and generally feeling poorly.
and get this.... the uro says after a 2-day culture, that it is negative.
I told the receptionist ,"I don't believe it."
How could I be so obviously ill, and it not show on my culture? This severe "flare" is something that has occurred to me before and I definitely feel like I need an antibiotic.
BTW, the uro is giving me an antibiotic because there is no way I could get through this weekend without it. It has helped me through this kind of rough bout in the past.
I'm going to see Dr. Chai June 24th and I can't wait to ask him all my questions, including "how could I feel so sick and have nothing wrong with me?"
I always have symptoms, but when I'm this bad off, I KNOW there is something wrong. My entire body is responding to this hidden offender.
Anyone else on this forum feel this bad, and have a negative culture?
