Re: Have a question Help me please.From: anonymous@obgyn.netSun Aug 30 15:48:05 1998
I have been reading these posts and I completely understand how you feel!! I have had chronic UTIs since 1993. I was put on an antibiotic twice daily for the past 3 years probably. I still got them but not as often. I went off my antibiotic at the very end of June. Guess what?!?! A few weeks ago I had a urnialysis done and we didn't think anything would show. the results came back that nothing was significant. My gyn (knowing my history and what I have been through with my urologist) sent it to be cultured. And I get a call..."guess who has a urinary tract infection, Jenn?' I say "me?!" Yep. I can't seem to do anything to help keep them away. I hate drinking water but I do drink spring water like at work. That is major improvement! I cant do the cranberry juice thing b/c it is acidic and I have bladder spasms (I am on pyridium 600mg a day for a long time now--usually they give it to get through the UtI b/c it calms the bladder down). I have been doing great with the spasms and cant' risk that again. It took forever to calm down. Any other suggestions? Oh, don't take a bath...shower only they say. And in summer weather....wear a bathing suit only for the time you need to. Not like all day after the beach. Dont wear tight bathing suits, underwear or jeans. Yes, even wearing tight jeans can help create the infection. Just thought I would throw that in there. Thanks for listening. Jenn
