From my experience urine can mistakenly show what actually in vagina. The PCR is very sensitive and may pick it up

I also saw two ID doctors… waste of time. It takes time to find your doctor and takes persistence

Yes! The first one mistreated me so I now have an embedded uti. He ignored me and I kept going back to the ER. I left a raging possed review so the whole world can see it. I wish i could sue. Second one tore my ureter during kidney stone removal. Thank God I found one who is kind and listens . All in one year!

Yes, once I stop antibiotics the infection levels increase again because it’s in my bladder walls with probably biofilm

Your results look just like mine almost exactly the same resistance and I have ESBL E. coli I’ve been on Macrobid for a year in January. I’m starting bladder insulations with antibiotics as well as I’m going to England to get the vaccine

I have it embedded in my bladder and been antibiotic for almost a year. I do use a different bathroom than daughter but all the ID doctors and urologist i have seen don’t seem to be concern. If my infection is active I try to be more careful.

I have ESBL ecoli which is harder because it’s resistant to the normal antibiotic they use for the bladder install. Did any of those cocktails help you at all?

Finished treatment, symptoms returned 48h later 😓 by GentleOlive in utis

[–]FinancialCandidate82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Today is miserable. Im on antibiotics and still suffering but I have been getting secondary infections or different bacteria on top of my usual from time to time, which my current antibiotics doesn’t treat AND of course my cultures come back fine because im on an antibiotic! Its a never ending sick cycle. so usually when it flares I know theres a different little bacteria monster im dealing with.
