I get up every night three or more times. It's a real problem.17% (2)
In all seriousness, the last time I saw my gynecologist she challenged me with saying, "You can't shock me with anything, I've heard it all". In all fairness she said this in response to another problem I was having, but after hearing her say that I mentioned that I have the issue of my eyes tearing up when I urinate, to which she told me she had never heard of it. I've thought of consulting a urologist, but since I've had it my whole life and it doesn't cause me any pain or other problems, it is VERY low on my list of priorities. If anyone else finds any answers, I would very much like to know.View Thread

Thinking i was dam lucky to have lasted 17 years with no incontience problems or such i was going to get the sling. Had been depressed bc of the incontience problem and such so went ahead with the surgery.
I have had continuies vaginal bacteria infection and last fall after a trip to the er was hospitalized due to a high white blood cell count. It was 16,300 and was in the hospital for four days on IV antibiotics. the doctors there where having major issues admitting to the reason for this.
Just previously i had contacted on of the lawsuit lawyers so as you can imagine they didnt want to admitt to anything and none of them wanted to really treat me. The head nurse was standing behind the doctor that admitted me and while he was saying that none of my results have come back, the nurse interupted him and said yes it has doctor, and i was positive for a ui tract infection among other problems.
Since my surgery i have had numerous UI test and like you they say that there is blood in my urine and no bacteria....
They also tell me that the blood is normal.
I am so frustrated from all this its crazy. I was just recently at my urogyn and she had to remove one of my permanent stiches which about sent me off the table as you can imagine because of the pain already there. I was also told they had found only a minamal amount of bacteria so they werent worried about it. That was Tuesday of last week, 9 days later im back in the er and the bacteria infection was so bad i was double over walking like a little old lady. So once again im back on the medicine.
My boyfriend had told me that with all these infection its a turn off and you can imagine how that felt!!!
So i sent a message to the urogyn office and im going back again to hopefully get this taken out.
They have been told by me that i never had any of these problems untill my surgery and as with you its suposedly all in my head.
I pray for you that they can find some way to help you and me both. I have no idea how to keep on living with this when it def affects ever aspect of my life. Very tired of being told how pale i am all the time and how sick ive been looking.
THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION.View Thread
Now Aetna refuses to pay, and our bills are over $100,000! the doctor says "don't worry", but easy for him to say, and his insurance staff will not return my calls. Apparently, they did not pre-certify the procedure, and to make matters worse, the doctor's paperwork says this problem started 3 weeks before he saw her - entirely untrue.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'd be interested to know which insurances pay for this procedure (I know Medicare does), and specifically if Aetna has ever paid it.
Had we known in advance, we could have cancelled Aetna and gone on Medicare. We are both Medicare-eligible.

Also vanicream cleansing bars instead of soap is more gentle on the skin and no perfumes, etc. You can get it at the pharmacy by special order and also Amazon.com and Walgreens carries it on the shelves.
I have been doing the gluten free diet, too. I think there may be a relationship with fibro, IC and vulvodynia. More research is needed. It is very frustrating when tests are negative when there is a situation. They need the right tests and the right handlings. Too many women have been suffering with this.
best of luck to all of you!View Thread
