[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 369119, member: 8226"] I wonder if a harmless "test" would be to get some azo-standard at the drug store--used to be prescription pyridium in 200 mg. tablets. I don't know what the amount is in the azo, but personally, I would take 200 mg. and see what happens. Will turn your pee orange, but I'm thinking it will stop the pain if the issue is bladder. It was always magic relief for me. If no change in the pain, then I'm guessing that would likely point in a direction other than bladder. Now, I'm well aware that all this drug does is stop the pain. One could even say it masks the pain. I've only used it in conjunction with an antibiotic to help my symptoms while the antibiotic is doing its job. I've also used it to bridge the gap until I could get my antibiotic. I've not had bladder issues for some time (fortunately), but I remember the doctor telling me that it was okay to use the pyridium before I got in to get the culture, that it would not interfere with the culture in any way. I'm not trying to "play" doctor here. In your case, I'd only do it for about a 24 hour experiment to see if it makes a difference in your symptoms. I wouldn't do it at all if you can get in to see the doctor pronto. Next Tuesday is too long to wait, in my opinion, unless you have absolutely no choice. [/QUOTE]
