Teppy, may you have relief and health soon.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Teppy, some of those are the symptoms I had several years ago before I was major antibiotics and diagonised with painful bladder syndrome.
I really recommend both AZO and Aloe as supplements to help with pain. If your bladder is inflamed or sensitive due to an infection avoiding really acidic things (citrus, vinegars, etc), especially cranberry juice and spicy foods might help.

painful bladder syndrome
I've never heard of this. My bladder is pretty damn painful, though. I might have some AZO in the medicine cabinet.

Mine has gone apparently gone away because I'm able to eat tomatoes in a fairly regular basis now.
My urologist also recommended OTC pain killer to help with the pain as well.

Oh! I've heard of that. I...actually have a lot of IC symptoms, but the problem is that they're also the symptoms of a lot of other things. V. frustrating.

There's some research that shows Vitamin D helps with the symptoms and once I started taking it regularly that's when I was able to eat more.
But mine was always very mild and controlled by diet. I haven't had a UTI in a year (which is a big deal for me) but last year when I had a UTI I'd only eat my "safest" foods - corn, white rice, chicken or beef, parsley, fennel, garlic, potatoes, and milk. Which is a very limited diet but I would only do that for a few days and it would help the pain of the UTI,

Bactrim is also really good for uti's so I'm glad you at least have that in case you have one. Definitely don't let this drop if you don't have a uti, like others here have said, there could be other causes.

Oh, I won't. The symptoms are too intense to ignore. The NP said the next step would probably be a CT scan of my lower abdomen if it turns out to not be a UTI.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it recent years I have been "making my own yogurt" by getting the nonfat plain yogurt in the grocery store, taking it home, straining it overnight to get excess moisture out, then adding fresh fruit and a bit of honey. thick yogurt with fresh fruit and just a bit of sweet is perfect.
cut to today's lunch adventure when I got some light yoplait blueberry yogurt. It was so fucking sweet I couldn't take it. Done. I had to toss it out. I guess I accidentally have been spoiling myself.
