Hi I'm new to this forum. Can anyone please please help? I have been suffering with cystitis on and off since I was 21 (Now 39). Antibiotics did help however (they even put me on a months course (that did not help), the doctor has now said that they can not give me more in case I become resistant to it. So I tried D manose, things over the counter and pharmacist nothing works. The diet thing did work (cut out all acidic food including tea/coffee alcohol) I do drink cranberry juice. However, since March this year, it has not cleared up. I wipe from front to back, pee after intercourse although we don't do it anymore and it's putting a strain on our relationship. I'm stinging all the time. Paracetamol and ibuprofen does help a little but it then comes back after 4hrs. I've had countless of urine tests all negative they even stretched my bladder and had a look. They couldn't see anything. I'm so miserable as I have no life and 'm so fed up now. The doctor says I'm doing everything right. I want to eat things and go out to restaurants basically have a life. Please if you've tried anything that helps I be most grateful to try anything even just cut out my urethra and I'll pee in a bag ( I don't mean a catheter bag).
