Urogenital problems are one of the few left in my lyme story.

They come and go, more and less severe of frequent...

I want to keep to dr.B guidliness and take vit C, I take the Ester C non-acidic one, 1000mg but every time I take it I get bladder discomfort which feels like an UTI, I go to the restroom more often and if I don't take it, its ok...any ideas?

I became sensitive ? I was taking Vit C everytime I had a cold (much lowe doses) and never had it...

I don't worry about to much because I can just skip it and drink green tea but it wonders me why this happens?

Thanks!

Vit C is a detox. Maybe that plays a part.

The vitamin C detoxes the bladder. This is very normal. Could you start low dose and slowly work your way up.
Cantharis 30 C helps for bladder problems.

Could you have developed interstital cystitis?? I have it, and I can't take vit c at all!!

It's more common in women, but men can get it too.

symptoms since 1993 that I can remember. 9/2018 diagnosed with Borellia, Babesia Duncani, and Bartonella Hensalae thru DNA Connections.
