I came down with a bladder infection last week. I went to the doctor and the urine analysis indicated a mild infection. I was put on antibiodics and it helped. I only had one dose left to take and I noticed the same symptoms coming back.
I went back thinking I needed a different antibiodic, but my urine test came back negative. The nurse mentioned that it was probably masked since I was just finishing my medication and the doctor would not give me a different antibiodic, because it came back negative.
I just remembered my neuro asking when I was first diagnosed if I had problems urinating. At the time, I didn't but now I have occasional 'leaking' and wondering if this is all related.
Now I'm confused if it is a regular bladder infection, or problems caused my MS, and is going to be a constant problem. I am just concerned because I just got done with a weeks worth of antibiodic and it is occurring again.
I am also on Amprya, which one of the common side effects is bladder infection, but I have been on it for 2 years and never had any problems.
Thoughts?? Do I call again to see if my urine analysis will be positive again, and keep taking antibiodics every time it happens. What do others do? Do you just have a standing prescription, how do you handle the occassional leaking that maybe only happens once a month. I hate this feeling of pressure and constant need to urinate.
Thanks for your input!
