i get this thing a few times a month that is sort of like a urinary infection, only it's not. i've had urinary infections before.. where i can't stop feeling like i have to pee and when i do it burns. this is different. there is no burning; only the feeling that i have to go to the bathroom constantly. i can't tell why this happens. sometimes i think it's in my head. i've been to the doctor's before when i had only one symptom and the tests for a urinary tract infection always come back negative. i know i don't have an std or anything like that. and i haven't done anything to damage down there.. ie. horseback riding. does anyone have an idea of what this is and how i could prevent it? it's a horrible feeling..

the bladder infection tests came back negative..
the doctor said it was probably a mild infection at the area that controls the impulse to go (im not sure where that is, but the part that tells you you have to pee, the infection interfears with the nerves and messages and whatnot, but it doesnt show up as a bladder infection)
ive also had bladder infections where thats the only symptom i have, or where i have no symptoms but tests come back showing infection.
i dont think ive EVER had a bladder infection where i get burning. i do think ive had a kidney infection (BAD pain in the back/sides) that also shows up as a 'bladder infection'
any infection in your urinary tract is deamed bladder infection i think? i think my infections tend to be higher up in the tract, so no burning.
so my guess is its a mild infection.
drink cranberry juice!

(1) do you get thirstier at different times of the month? Yeah, it seems like a no-brainer :) but I'm on a bunch of meds that all dry me out, so I drink water like a maniac sometimes.... and increased input > increased output!
(2) if you do get thirstier, drink more, and therefore pee more.... do you have other diabetic symptoms? This one is more serious and less likely; but if you also get yeast infection symptoms and/or cold hands and feet (tingling) and/or change in appetite and weight and/or a bunch of other stuff you can find online... you might want to get blood-glucose tests.
(3) if this is to a serious point, and stays awhile (which it looks like it might be doing.. sorry! no fun!), I've heard that some people have sensitive nerves in the bladder, etc... not sure what the med stuff behind that is, but i know it can happen. Wouldn't be surprised if I have a tiny touch of it myself; my bf and I joke that I have a small bladder, because I have to go to the bathroom about 3 or 4x for every once that he does....
...anyhow, hope you feel better

I haven't been to a doctor yet, but eventually I will get to one, hopefully.

i posted this a few weeks ago in
http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=womenhealth&itemid=16281
it feels like i have to go all the time. sometimes i wake up several times a night because i'm afraid i'll wet the bed - but of course when i reach the bathroom it turns out there's nothing in there.
this is the first time i've experienced this, and it's been ongoing for a month if not more. most ppl have suggested that it's a pulled muscle, but i haven't done/lifted anything that would cause that.
btw, great icon.
