I'm at my wits end. I've never had a "flare" last this long. My pelvic floor muscles are tight and my urethra is burning almost constantly, it just depends honestly. Over the last week I had 3 days where I thought for sure I was through the storm. Then I had a decent session with my husband and it was hot fire down stairs for the rest of the night. Today my pelvic floor is so tight it feels like I've got a bowling ball up there or something, it's God awful. I have an appointment with my OB Wednesday just to be sure it's not a bad UTI. Sometimes I really dislike having a vj.

Honestly I'm just looking for reassurance I guess? The symptoms come and go and get better when I drink a ton of water but this is only my second flare up and it seems to happen in times of immense stress. I had a really stressful thing happen and then I got a yeast infection, and then my period started. How long do your flares last and what'd they feel like? The last time I had a flare I swore I had an STD or something because the urethral irritation and frequency were unimaginable. But no, I was tested last time and this time and nothing. Not even a UTI. Doctors basically said "good luck" last time I experienced a flare.

I'm assuming they're going to drug test me for my first PM appointment. Will quick fix be fine? Just curious. TIA
