It was gone.

[Loops2708]

So it was gone for a very very long time. Almost two years I went without it bothering me. With the occasion of a few kidney stones, I was pretty much okay as far as my bladder concerns me. Until yesterday morning. Oh I forgot how horrible mornings are. Just the feeling of having to get up and go to the bathroom so bad, only to find it burns. And for me its not burning so much when I'm going. It almost burns inside of me afterwards, when I try to lay back down and its next to impossible. So I find myself wide awake and completely uncomfortable. I've been so extremely depressed latley, and stressed out, and I feel that is why its come back on. Stress apparently is a big factor. :headbang: I hate this feeling and its only been two days so maybe it won't last the two years it did last time, but who knows. The way my life is going latley that is all I need is to get sick again. Just the thought of how it feels makes me queasy. Thinking I could feel that miserable again makes me not feel good at all. And damn. Does my bladder hurt right now. :cussing:

With such a sudden onset of symptoms again, especially the burning...I would urge you to request a urine culture (not a urinalyisis). It sounds suspicious enought to be a UTI.

Also, my first line of defense, when this happens is to increase my water intake immediately to really dilute that burning urine. Good luck and so sorry to hear you feel so lousy.

I have to agree that it sounds very much like you may have a urinary tract infection. Please contact your doctor this morning.

Warm healing thoughts,
