I've had multiple tests (urine sample) for urinary tract infections and nothing ever comes up, even though i suffer all the symptoms. what could it be?

Interstitialcystitis: You probably suffer from interstitial cystitis. Consult a urologist but also see a holistic practitioner as this condition is often related to food sensitivities, intestinal yeast overgrowth ; chronic infections like lyme disease ; can respond to herbs, homeopathy ; other natural therapies.
