It’s EBV. Honestly, everyone needs an antiviral protocol—there's a whole group on Facebook called "Losing Weight Together via the Protocol" if you want to check it out. Good luck!

Sorry... all my test results came back totally normal. I can't find anything that explains these symptoms, so I'm just feeling pretty confused. Honestly, I feel better when I'm on my period... then I can just tell myself the pain is just because of that. I end up hitting the bathroom more often at night... especially if I start overthinking all of this.

I've been dealing with this mystery issue for four months now, and honestly, I'm at a loss. My test results—everything from urine cultures to urethral swabs—keep coming back clear. It all started after I sat on a cold bench for a bit; suddenly, it felt like a full-blown infection. About ten years ago, I dealt with something similar where they found ureaplasma and mycoplasma, which antibiotics cleared right up. But this is different. The pattern is driving me crazy: I'll feel totally fine for two or three days, then by the afternoon of the fourth day, that heavy sensation kicks in after I pee. I don't even know how else to describe it. It’s this pressure at the bottom of my bladder and a sensitive urethra. If I soak in a warm bath overnight, it settles down, but the uncertainty is what's really killing me. I can't make any plans because the pain just comes and goes whenever it feels like it. Sometimes I'll just grab an analgesic just to numb that stinging, dull ache. My urologist is stumped. An ultrasound looked okay, so now he's mentioning the possibility of a urethral caruncle, which is supposedly an easy fix, but the thought of a cystoscopy makes me want to crawl under a rock. The idea of having a tube shoved into my already sensitive urethra is terrifying. I'm wondering... could these symptoms be pointing toward IC?
