Hi Gagamama
Thank you for your reply. Since posting, I have read up a little bit and it seems that Menopause can be linked with recurrent UTI's and symptoms of urge incontinence. I have yet to find a sympathetic Doc. I came off long term anti biotics a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. Just waiting for my Doc to give me the go ahead for HRT - i'm only 41 so medical people didn't even think of menopause as the reason for my bladder problems. Never having suffered with cystitis, it was quite a shock, never realised just how painful it could be. I have a telephone appt. with my GP today and will make sure I write a list of concerns and questions I want answered. I used to consider myself a strong and confident woman but just feel like a shadow of myself and it takes all the strength I have just to leave the house these days . Thanks again for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. Best Wishes. x
