urinary urgency, I wanna ask Darrell if he found a solution in the last 7 seven years ?

Sorry if this is against the rules, but 7 years ago there was a discussion here titled : "Why won't anything work????"   http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Urology/messages/30254.html
- And there was a men Darrell with extremelly similar symptoms. If anybody knows a way I can e-mail him and ask him if he manage to found a way...
- Basically it is about urinary urgency when all the analysis came back negative. No enlarged prostate, no pain, no burning, no discharge, urine culture negative.
  Only symptom is urge to urinate wich after taking many antibiotics (prescribed by the doctor even though the analysis was negative) the urge decreased.
  I don't have the urge at night (like others do). Even when I was very bad and almost cannot leave the house because the urge were very strong, I still didn't have the urge at night. Cranberry tea didn't help at all.
   When I drinked less water - this seem to help even though doctors recomend increase intake of water.
  I am a male - 27 year old. Never had urinay problems before.

i am male and 23, and for a number of months have had to live with the sensation that i constantly need the toilet. I do not need to go any more regularly, but because my bladder constantly feels full, i am forcing out urine just because i feel i have to. more often than not, there is very little urine, soemtimes none at all, and occassionally an ordinary sized stream. There is no blood, no infection, only pain is in the bladder but only because it feels so stretched, does sometimes feel worse when sitting. Does not feel worse after sex or masturbation but can sometimes make it harder to get erect. Basically it always feels like i need the toilet, regardless of whether i need to or not. This is affecting every aspect of my life. I cannot sleep at night, therefore i am unable to fucntion during the day. Does anybody know what is wrong with me. i feel isolated and depressed. i am desperate

It's me strobers. I finally started having some good days after several months of this hell. Of course, I completely gave up sex because that's what caused my problem to begin with. From April 6th until yesterday October 9th, I've been celibate and have had a few good days in a row when I felt just about normal. Besides refraining from sex, I've cut out all acidic foods, take Pre-lief which gets rid of acid in food (just in case) cut out all tea, coffee and alcohol. Now I'm back to where I was in April and am so, so, so frustrated. I'm going to go see my urologist in a couple of weeks for a prostrate ultra sound, but I know that it's going to be a waste of time. At this point it has to be one of two things. Either A. I have some kind of nerve damage that can't be measured by tests or B. I have a psychological problem. I have some questions for you guys. Answer truthfully as maybe if we pool our collective resources we can find a pattern somewhere. How many of you get worse when you have sex? How many of you have other physical problems that you are dealing with besides the bladder issue? Personally, I developed tinnitus and eye inflammation since my bladder issue started. How many of you have noticed that your symptoms are worse when you are sitting? How many of you have noticed that you are living your life around your problem? How many of you are prone to anxiety, pessimism or catastrophic thinking? We don't have to suffer alone or in silence. Let's try to support each other and get to the bottom of this.

I'm 21 years of age and have been dealling with this now for almost three years. I have been in and out of my urologist's office a few times but because i work on a ship i dont see him for six monthes at a time. I have done every test they have at the urologist. My doc now seems to think this involves nerves in the bladder that maybe damaged or "act up". This is the first thing, since possibly haveing an infection, that makes sence. What ever this is it really sucks because when it is bad i cannot sleep at all. This has definatly changed my life. It has made me stop drinking alchol because although it doesnt get bad right away after drinking awhile it will get bad again. I'm now on amitriptaline, which helps deaden acting up nerves.

just wanted to ask if anyone has had any improvement on their situation. i have personally given up with the doctors. still have the same symptoms. just making sure of going to wee every time i can and avoid drinking (almost completely) when outside. this situation is really too bad :(

Same problems here. Been going on for 4 years.  Pee all day and sleep all night.  Mine comes and goes in 3-4 month cycles.  3 months pee all the time, 3 months normal.   I've had cystocopy, urinary dynamic, CT Scan.  Had full physical and blood work all normal.  Never an infection, blood in urine, or inflamed prostate.  Tried every OAB med. know to man as well as antibotics.  My urologist told me yesterday that he has no idea what is wrong with me so it has to be psychological.  He say its has to be anxiety & stress.  I say BS as I'm the most laid back person I know.  I don't know where to go next as the urologist says he can't do anything else for me?
