Dena Lewis (New Orleans, Louisiana) on 07/03/2026:
I would drink apple cider vinegar and carbonated drinks and my bladder felt heavy and it would hurt. I always felt the urge to urinate. All my urine cultures came back normal at the doctor and the doctor said my bladder was irritated and wanted to hook me up to a catheter to blow air in my bladder. I was afraid so I refused. I took some Lysine 1000 mg and I noticed my bladder pain went away. I took it for a few weeks and I no longer felt the urge to urinate and I was able to drink soda again.
