Good Gosh...another UTI

[Marie5656]

Yep, have another one. Just had one a few weeks ago. Called after hours.....getting on Keflex. Wish me luck

 

[Kaila]

Oh gosh, that is awful. Very sorry about that, Marie.
And they always get noticeably worse on a weekend, don't they?

 

[Kaila]

Do you get any difficult side effects from the Keflex, Marie?
I hope not, since you've had to take it repeatedly.

I wonder if your ongoing dr might think about Hiprex for you,
for after this infection clears up.

It helps many people by preventing recurrent uti's and bladder infections.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Oh dear. Wishing you the best Maria. I hope you get the right medicine to heal it up.

 

[Fritz]

Why so many infections Marie?

 

[Marie5656]

@Kaila I see my primary care doctor next month for a routine check up. I will ask her about Hiprex

@Marie5656 I mentioned this before but just in case it was overlooked. Do you use one of those travel mugs
with the flip spout on it? The worst UTI I had was due to one of those cups and one of the suction seals in the lid
trapping and holding liquid under it that became moldy and I had no idea. If you do use one check under all those seals
and see if anything is growing there. Seriously, I hope this is all it is because it's so much easier to get those to stop
happening. I didn't think the one seal would come off so I overlooked it.

 

[Kaila]

I would ask, Marie. It works in a different way than the regular antibx.

The urologists prescribe it after a few too many, and too soon/frequent uti's, with the heavy antibx course for each of those.

I've known them to start the Hiprex right when finishing up a regular antibx that clears an infection. Before another infection gets time to start up.
(that's the brand name it's known, but it has generics that are fine)

So sorry, Marie, hope you're better soon.

nope.... do not.

 

[IrishEyes]

nope.... do not.

Oh darlin' almost wish you did so you could know for sure what was causing it. I sure hope you find out so
they will cease for you, Good Luck, be thinking about you.

Oh Marie...unbelievable ..again.... you poor woman.....

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

I never heard of any of the medications mentioned here! I have way too many UTIs, so I'm wondering if I should aak my doc about these things.
Nobody seems to know why some of us get lots of these, tho I've heard different theories. I saw a urogynocologist for awhile who said they were always from feces. Gross, huh?

 

[Kaila]

I'm not impressed by doctors who say... always.....

Another factor Might be that our immune systems possibly don't fight off infections like they once did, in some of us.
