Default Who ya gonna call?

I am having symptoms that may or may not be MS related and I'm not sure who to call. For the past two years or so, I have gotten a Urinary Tract Infection three or four times a year. When it started, I would call my primary care physician and tell her that I had a UTI, and she’d phone in an Rx. Once I went to the CVS walk-in clinic, and they tested my urine and I also got an Rx. Last year I discovered that there is an over-the-counter test for UTI, so when I started having symptoms I bought one, and it said I didn’t have a UTI. In fact I did the test twice on consecutive days to be sure. So I called my Neurologist, and he set me up with an appointment with an Urologist. Meanwhile, of course, the symptoms subsided until now. My symptoms are the same; sudden urgency, discomfort immediately after voiding, etc. The UTI test says I don’t have an infection, but this time I can see blood in the urine. Not a color change in the urine, but little red tendrils and wisps that are blood colored. So here is my question: Do I call my primary care physician, call my MS doctor, or call the urologist who will be testing me in a little over a month. Or should I just wait for it to go away, and mention it to the Urologist when I go for that bladder test?

Inquiring minds want to know!
