so many uti's i've lost track. always in pain. HELP?!?
by bethenyxx, Nov 06, 2009 10:10PM
i believe all of my problems started over a year ago with a seemingly normal UTI.
since then, i have had so many UTI's, a few kidney infections that i can't even keep track.
a couple of times i go to the doctor in excruciating pain only to be told i had no sign of infection at all.
i've been on so many rounds of antibiotics it disgusts me. it can't be very good for my health. i always almost get a yeast infection after taking antibiotics because it kills all the good bacteria in my vagina.
i've had ultrasounds, ct scans, blood work constantly and everything checks out fine. i even saw a nephrologist for a potential kidney problem but he said i was as healthy as i could be.
this last time around with my most recent UTI, my doctor told me she had to try and treat it before i could get a referral to a urologist. so she suggested i go on antibiotics for two weeks. i finished a few days ago. it still hurts to pee. no surprise there. i take one of my UTI home testing kits to test for white blood cells in my urine and immediately, the strip turned colored.
i'm so angry! i can't take this anymore. doctor after doctor has lectured me on how to "wipe from front to back" "pee after intercourse". it's driving me crazy! i'm not a child, i'm not stupid.
i'm discouraged to say the least, like i'm never going to get an answer.
any ideas? i'm pretty desperate here. :[
