You need to see a urologist. Anytime blood is involved, you should seek medical treatment just to be sure it is only cystitis. Please make an appointment and end your suffering.
In the meantime:
1. drink lots of water
2. if you do not have blood pressure problems, add a teaspoon of sodium bicarb (baking soda) to one glass of water to neutralize your urine making it burn less
3. no sex
4. no alcohol
5. cranberry juice may or may not help but is worth trying
6. take ibuprofen for the pain
