But if you do have that and it is caught early it will save you the years of misery and frustration I went through.

I love d mannose, use daily, a big tablespoon full in a glass of juice. Any less than that doesn't seem to work for me so I just set money aside for the stuff same way as I would for a regular medicine.

Hope you find an answer soon, I know exactly how miserable that pain is and feel badly for you.

I found a hot water bottle held between my legs masked the pain for awhile. I was careful not to burn myself. When it was just pain without infection, that hot water bottle gave me islands of pain free time that really helped me stay more or less sane.
