Glad you're feeling better. Did the dr say what was causing your grief?

Not really. But my age is a factor.

Good to know you’re feeling better.

Interesting...when I went to urgent care yesterday they tested and said fund nothing...though still gave me med. Today they texted lab results with all kinds of things detected. Printed it out, going to show it to my friend, who is a nurse. She coming to visit tomorrow

 

[Kaila]

Glad you went, Marie. !
Cipro should work.

Lab or culture would show more accurately than the first quick check does.

Sound like Lab-test detected not only micro-bacteria also Kidney and Bladder function. Because, if micro-bacteria traveled to Kidney, it's more complexity for Dr. to handle.

My mother, at age 34-36 passed away Kidney disease that I inherited 'bad gene' from her although my none of my siblings have one, just only me.

The reason I went to 'Urethra/tube' to widen was because of my fear of micro-bacteria travel to my kidney.

Now, in my twilight age, looking back to my young age, I'm very glad to have it done. Also, I found two good Urologists to advise me getting it done. Plus, my husband encouraged me have it done.

@Amanda76 sorry about your mom....and the bad genes. We have to keep up with our health

Yes, I still MISS her, ..... even my twilight age. Probably, until my death.

Probably, your UTI is not ordinary UTI that Urgent Care implied.

Have you considered Urologist for on-going UTI? Urologist is a specialist to handle UTI.

Do you have a fever or other infection symptoms, Marie?

Not to mention it is one dose, and set me back almost $50. Better work

No other symptoms, and my BP was normal. I am going to my PCP in a couple weeks. See what she says

Thanks for the sharing, and for keeping us updated, Marie.
We'll hope this med works! Well and quickly!

I didn't remember it , at first, when you posted, yesterday, Marie,

but later last evening,

I remembered that my husband was given one single pill that took care of a uti,
that they discovered shortly after he was hospitalized for something else entirely, last winter.

That's amazing. When I get one, I'm in bed sick for days. The last one I had, about 2 years ago, I was on a heavy duty cephalosporin for 8 full weeks. It's dangerous to go beyond that long.
