UTI’s LOVE me

Unfortunately I am really prone to UTI’s. I can never disperse them through drinking lots of water and/or cranberry juice. I ALWAYS have to go get antibiotics, but that usually kicks it out of my system. This time has just been different all around. I had a sinus infection and was put on antibiotics. The second to last day of a antibiotics I got the UTI I finished the two antibiotics and drank an obscene amount of water in hopes taht would be enough. Of course, it wasn’t, so I went to the doctor and was put on a different set of antibiotics.

Well, I am almost done with these antibiotics and the symptoms are still here, if not worse. I am shaking, have chills, pain in my back, and abdomen, my cheeks are flushed, and it goes without saying that not a moment goes by where I don’t feel like I’m not going to pee myself. This is unbareable. I have another appointment later today, but does this sound familiar to anyone else? Could this be a bigger problem than a UTI? I have been on antibiotics for over two weeks and the problem is only worse. Help!

    I have had UTIs for years -every time I had sex, which of course caused me to dislike sex and was not good for my marriage. I would not go anywhere without antibiotics packed and took many courses per year. [more..]

    My 92 year old mom in law seems to have many UTI’s. She was taking a prophylactic to help prevent them, but things have gone South. [more..]
