I never thought of my use of psycho drugs as the cause of my infections, but you're making me think about it. I have had UTI's for the last five years. On average, I have at least 5 of them per year. I almost ALWAYS bleed with them. One time it was so bad that I actually had a low blood count. And they happen so FAST! If I feel kind of funny at noon, I'll be bleeding by four. So if this happens at night, I'm totally screwed. I've only had to go to the ER once. And it was because of pain, not because of the blood. I think they only asked me about five times in different ways if I was having my period. "Uhhhh, I work in the OB department...don't you think I"d know?"

So for me, if I have a UTI, I have bleeding. I have to admit, it becomes predictable and not such a big deal. The only explanation I got was that I have a UTI and more than likely, I have stones in my kidneys too big to pass so they irritate the hell out of my kidneys. Every once in a while, I'll get a jab of pain in my middle back...and it does hurt. I suck in my breath, but by the time I blow it out, the pain is gone. Very quick and intense. The most jabs in one day was about five of them. I've found a corrolation between my use of caffiene and frequency of jabs. So, more water, more water, more water.

The last time I"ve had one was last month. So I might get a few months respite. Sad, isn't it? Now, I've had pscho drugs, xanax, prozac, wellbutrin, and seroquel. I don't, however, see a corrolation of the bleeding vs. the drugs. I've gotten UTI's with bleeding even without being on anything.

Also, I've never had bleeding where there isn't an infection. They go hand in hand. I wish you the best of luck and if you wish to talk more...PM me!
