Michele, I feel so sorry for you, I wish I could just give you a big
hug!!!
The one thing that stands out in your post was the blood in the urine
with no infection. YOu need to see a urologist to get checked out for
(IC) Interstitial Cysitus.It can run hand in hand with endo according to
my gyn and uro. doc. The pain and the blood, and the feeling like a
UTI but not having one are signs or symptoms of IC. I hope you can find
someone to treat you with respect and dignity. Good luck.
