Cystitis on and off for a month

I can't deal with this anymore :(
I had the audacity to sleep with my own boyfriend on Saturday night as we were in Paris for our anniversary and now I'm burning, in agony...
I am prone to getting cystitis when I first get a new partner (and this happened a year ago when I met him) but never for this long and usually a glass of water with bicarbonate of soda in sorts me right out, but it's doing nothing.
This can't be right :(

Have you had antibiotics? You will need them, and possibly a longer, daily course over 6 months or so if it keeps recurring. (I take daily antibiotics for recurrent utis and have done since I was 15 - am now 37).

Go to the doctors, could be a UTI which you need antibiotics for. Drink lots and lots of water to help flush it out.

I haven't been to the Doctors. Bloody wish I had now. Just laid in bed sobbing telling DP we are never having sex again and he just keeps telling me to drink water. I've missed the DC so much while I was away but now I can't face them.

Does that help, Fairylea?

I've booked an appointment for tomorrow

I have kidney stones and suffer from recurrent UTI’s and it’s horrific so I feel your pain!

On the bright side: I’ve just discovered Pushdoctor. Which allows you to FaceTime a GP on your phone any day from 7am-10pm, explain you have recurrent UTI’s and you need antibiotics and they can send a perscriotion to your local pharmacy. Every consultation is £20.

It has been my saviour!! I use to have to wait in agony in A&E or walk in clinics for hours, in pain. Vulnerable and running to the shared toilet but this is so much better.

Could not recommend more! Especially as your issue is als recurrent.

  • Don’t forget to visit your GP at some point to help assess what the underlying cause is too.

  • bananarama cystitis is a UTI.

Op, get yourself some Mannose D, stocked in all chemists, on line ( Amazon etc).

I've known friends whose l lives have been blighted by cystitis, who have never b had it again after using mannose d.
