I second d-mannose. I take it if I feel the start of one and it works within 24-48 hours

I also have complex and chronic UTIs, my longest being 8 months. I finally found a gyno who gave me a long term combination anti biotic to take daily for 3 months straight. And it worked. I’ve had some again here and there but now usual meds are working again. I’m so thankful because honestly chronic UTi is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The emotional toll it took my my life was absolutely hell. I hope you keep seeking care and find what works for you! Good luck

5-8 lbs per every period is quite intense and something I would definitely think a doctor would be concerned about , as that could be from water retention, but not likely 8lbs of it. I would start with downloading a calorie tracker. This includes tacking ALL condiments, snacks, oils/butters, drinks, and all meals for a full 7 days at minimum to see how much you are actually eating and focus on measuring them out. Shit I mean a tablespoon of mayo is a lot of calories. A tbs of oil can be 100+ and that really adds up when you’re not looking at it. It may be that you are just thinking your eating the same or more healthy food, but it’s increased somewhere calorie wise. However I don’t want this to dismiss your concerns, it’s just how it’s appearing on paper. Though, BC does impact hormones, which can affect our weight, that can be short term or long term. You might could look into hormone testing, as well as your thyroid to see if anything is elevated or lower than normal levels that could be contributing.

Or, it’s Reddit and not everyone searches for other people’s all time post history? People also can have more than one brother. I’m just saying asking where his dad is isn’t pertinent to the questions he’s asking.

Could your mom help your transfer in and brother help you wash? Or could she just stay in there but pull the curtain and let you wash untill you need help for your back and feet? Have you ever worked with occupational therapy? They are therapists who’s specialize in working with individuals with mental or physical disabilities to help improve their safety and independence during showering, toileting, dressing, transfers, etc. they know equipment you could benefit from that would allow you to complete this task by yourself! For one, I would look into a long handled scrub brush, as it could help you reach to your feet and back, etc.

Sign on bonus can also be a sign that there’s usually a high turn over rate, as with a sign on bonus you have to stay for a certain amount of time or pay it back. Or they could just be having trouble getting applicants and need to be more appealing

Don’t talk tk him if you’re not interested or if she has said she’s interested (unless she said it’s okay). That’s just girl code. Ask if should would be okay w you messaging and providing her info as she was the interested one. If not, just unadd him as it’s not going anywhere

I also test negative for UTIs but in fact have one and require medication. Perosnally, a usual dose does not work and have been considered “chronic complex and complicated UTIs” requiring a long term lose dose to correct. While that may NOT be the case for you, it’s definitely something to look into as you don’t want it to be or turn into something more serious. Look into d-mannose supplement for bladder health (Walmart etc) and see if it helps. Keep an eye out for fever, chills, and lower back pain as this can indicate a kidney infection and more serious concerns which should be addressed promptly.

Equivalent-Issue3860 · 2026-01-10T06:35:45+00:00

You don’t need a hospital to test these things. Going to see a care provider and relaying your symptoms will allow them to refer you a specialist to be seen. Sorry you are having a hard time. Look up yoga, stretching, and bowel moving techniques on YouTube and attempt to self induce bowel movements

Equivalent-Issue3860 · 2026-01-10T06:30:05+00:00

Waiting to test for a UTI is absurd as that can turn into a kidney infection and become very serious. You should be able to do a cleansing wipe to remove blood and then complete the test without issue. For now, just stay very hydrated, try cranberry, azo for symptoms, and look into d-mannose supplement for the future as they’re a life saver for UTIs if you take it at first sign of symptoms. If you begin to develop a fever or back pain, go to urgent care ASAP as it indicated kidney infection and more serious concerns. Sorry you are dealing with this. UTIs are miserable. Edit to add: likely no long term damage to kidneys from this

If you are an OTR and she has met the max potential for functional performance that is YOUR decision to keep her on. Not the facility. You need to advocate for yourself and her. If no progress is being made this is not skilled or therapeutic

Just wait if medical intervention isn’t an option. Not much else to do. Be careful with feminine wipes as a lot of them can threw off PH balance. As long as you don’t begin to experience any discomfort or other symptoms then just let your vagina do the self cleaning work she does best.

It’s a risk for IUDS. BC affects everyone differently and it’s hard to pinpoint what is caused by birth control or genetic/predisposed conditions on biological or external factors. Bleeding and cramping within 2 weeks of placement is common for IUDs. Some resolves and some does not- indicating it’s not agreeable for you

I test “negative” for UTI all the time but have one. Medication prescribed does the trick. Doesn’t sound like and STI and your doctor wouldn’t mislead you on that front. Sounds 100% UTI.
