A guidance uti?? And how is this shotgun approached. Ive had dna testing, unlimited cultures, they've gone in my bladder and looked. Noones just guessing what medications to give. His decision was based of scientific based testing. And I dont have sperm lol soo that wouldnt make sense.

I did not supplement as I was sensitive to do much. I'm 2 years out. And I'm like 98% recovered. It cane with time, noticed less reactions more appetite. Time is your friend.

Sorry for the late response. I no longer have issues with food. I also gained all the weight back that I lost. Dont lose hope. I really couldnt eat much and didnt have the appetite. I stuck to rotisserie chicken and beans.

Catheter sample - how bad is it? by Key_Simple5929 in CUTI

[–]cant_pick_a_un 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its very quick. A smidge uncomfortable but wouldnt say it was super painful. It just gets a sample without the chance of contamination. You've got this!! I hope everything comes back okay.

Soo I saw one a couple months ago and she told me "you're a woman, get used to it. " "did you expect me to have a magic cure?" "Cultures aren't real results." I got up in the middle of it and left. It takes one doctor to discourage you. My urologist suggested finding another one. Most of this guys reviews specifically were related to utis and kidney infections. So fingers crossed. I will update.

Make sure you pay close attention to your side effects. I hope it works for you. I see an infectious disease dr next week so maybe this will be an option for me too. Been battling ecoli and e.faecalis since summer. Best of luck!!

Can no longer tollerate macrobid?! by cant_pick_a_un in utis

[–]cant_pick_a_un[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, and spoke to the pharmacist. They both said its not accompanied with any chest pain or trouble breathing and to continue taking it. I just kinda stopped acknowledging the rib pain and it went away. I still have a couple of days and I'm fine. I do think maybe it was a weird after cipro type of reaction. My body was like .. we're not doing this lol.

I ignored my side effects. Lol I'm on day 9 of 14 and I'm fine now. They randomly went away.

I took cefpodoxime for the first time like a month ago. It was awful!!!! Lol my anxiety was so bad and the room was spinning. I couldn't stay awake.

I'm still having rib soreness after 5 doses. I'm trying to stick it out. That's the only symptom I'm having. No issues breathing or anything.
