Thank you so much Deejoy17. My mum also has UTI's, so I guess it runs in my family too (except my sister...she somehow escaped - not fair!)

I have booked my bladder/kidney ultrasound for Wednesday morning, then a follow up appt with my GP on Monday. If nothing comes of it I will def ask to be referred to a Urologist. I'm glad they were able to help you, it gives me some hope!

Its just awful, awful...I hate it more than anything, I can't help thinking how different my life would be without it. Fingers crossed they can help me.
