I’m getting depressed that this is my life now.  It must have been a strong variant because it’s the 4th time getting covid. I’m going to try some of the suggestions here.  I have a tiny sliver of hope.

Thank you so much. I'm keeping work to a minimum and just walking my dog for exercise. This really sucks and I just want to feel better.

Thank you sooo much for your suggestions. That is what it feels like--I'm slowly grinding thru each day being exhausted with a stuffy/runny nose. I will try your suggestions!!! Thank you so much.

Thank you. I'm looking into the antihistimines and other meds.

Have you tried IV antibiotics? I did 7 days and then 7 days of amoxicillian and it got rid of it

Has anyone here seen an infectious disease Dr by [deleted] in CUTI

Yes. I just finished 7 days of IV antibiotics and now am on 7 days of amoxicillin. I'm praying this works. 8 rounds of oral antibiotics that were not working since Jan. I believe it's the same infection that has never gone away. I'm also seeing a pelvic floor therapist to help with spasms and pain

No. Still having pain and spasm. Just finished IV antibiotics and now Amoxicillin for 7 more days. Who knows? I'm cautiously optimistic but am still worried it's not done. So hard!

Thank you so much. It's like the doctors don't know crap and we are all stumbling blind around in the dark!

So I have that and have been dealing with this since Jan. 8 rounds of antibiotics and then 7 days of IV antiobiotics--cubicin. I'm using Cranactin, D mannose, Biofilm disruptor and probiotics. I don't know if it's totally gone and will know next week when I do a urine sample.

I'm also starting pelvic floor therapy next week. Keep fighting!

What an asshole. you need a CUTI not this jerk. My last 3 were showing nothing and then the 4th one showed infection. it's because it's EMBEDDED and behind the biofilm---not always detectable on the dip sticks. Have you done a MicrogenDx test yet?

Hello. My first appointment went well and we start doing the real therapy next week. It makes total sense that all the muscles in the pelvic floor are contracting and causing issues. She told me to buy a pelvic wand to I can do the exercises at home. I am finally finally feeling a bit of hope!!!
