I'm opposite. I had frequent UTI's leading up to my diagnosis, then only a few since. Like Becky I was on maintenance Macrobid prior to my diagnosis. I echo her advice, see a urologist and let him/her check you through. For me they scoped my bladder and had me come in for tests after each round of antibiotics to make sure the infection had really actually cleared and not just beat down.
