Q: Re-ocurring Uti? Intersistial Cystitis?

Last week I had tested positive for a UTI. I was given 5 days worth of Macrobid. After 3 days I started to feel better and kept taking the Macrobid till it was finished. Around 2 days after I had finished the Macrobid, I started to get the symptoms again. I went back to the clinic and my urine tested negative for UTI. He used the "dip-stick test" and had told me that sometimes it is not accurate, so he send my urine off to the lab for analysis. He also gave me a two week prescription for Macrobid again.

I was also diagnosed in 1998 with Interstitial Cystitis. After a year I went into remission.

My question is, has anyone else had problems simmilar to mine? With a UTI that takes so much antibiotics to get rid of?
I am really hoping that this isn't IC flairing up again.

Hmmm...

You know. I have been having alot of problems with UTI's re-occuring almost every month, but it was usually sex related. After going to a gyno, she said I had signs of Cervicitis...which is also something I guess that has to do with infections, she said it maybe playing a roll causing the UTI's or maybe UTI's causing the Cervicitis and they are just bouncing back and forth. Ever been told anything about Cervicitis before? I've never heard anything about IC...I wonder if maybe I'm having problems, or maybe ours might be similar...im not sure....I've been struggling to find answers and releif as well...just sucks..
