Bladder problems

Hi,

I am seeing a classical homeopath right now, and she has given me a series of remedies (Belladonna, Sulfur, Causticum, Pulsatilla, and one other one beforehand, something about removing medical suppression of my immune system -- all at 200 strength), but I don't feel all that helped by what's been done so far. I'll explain my problem:

Years ago, I had a bladder infection. I was treated with sulfa antibiotics, to which I had an allergic reaction, so I had to shorten the treatment. I still had symptoms afterwards, and I tried some uva ursi for a while, which sort of helped, but in the end my infection never seemed to clear up.

I have trouble getting a good urine stream, I feel inflammed around the bladder and now the abdomen and the area between my buttocks too sometimes, I can't sleep much at night because I get up to try to pee 5-6 times and not much comes out, and sometimes I get some pain in my urethra. I can't even have sex in this condition, because I'm too inflammed and sensitive. I have tested negative for UTIs, too.

The conventional bladder person I went to put a urethra up my bladder and said I had a poor flow and wanted to convince me that I had a "narrow urethra"... but that sounds rather silly. I don't remember having problems when I was younger! They want to send me to a urologist, but their idea of treatment is stretching my urethra, or maybe they'd give me anti-inflammatories, or maybe anti-biotics, or put some DMSO in my bladder... Who knows. It's all invasive and scary.

My homeopath has promised me my bladder will be all better one day, and I do see intermittent improvements with flairs in between. But I still have to push, often, to get the urine out even when I'm having a decent stream.

I don't know what's wrong with me -- my muscles, a low-grade infection no one's spotted, anatomical problems...

I am just wondering if anyone here has actually found success with such conditions, has been able to break the cycle with homeopathy. Because right now I'm giving up hope. I don't just want "try this remedy", "try that remedy", I want to have examples of real-life people who have cured completely from such conditions. Because I don't even know if homeopathy works at this point. I'm trying it because I'm desperate. The next stop will be the urologist, who I expect will only be able to give me temporary relief using some pretty heavy-handed techniques.

This isn't just a passing problem; it's been chronic for about four years.

Thanks for your time.
