Chronic UTI'S so debilitating and depressing

Hi everyone I'm new here to this board. But happy to be where I can read and discuss this issue with others. I've suffered UTI'S for 60 years and it's been aweful. Had my first one at 12 years of age and just finished a round of last resort drugs. Hope it will stop the bacteria for at least a little while. It's been a living nightmare trying to stop the infections and I'm to the point of giving up. I had two very dangerous bacteria on my last culture. Klebsiella (Enterobacter) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Was given 7 days of Nitrofurantoin 100 mg and Levofloxacin 500 mg. Once again just waiting for results. Any words of advice or encouragement would be most welcome.

    hope you feel better

    i can only imagine how challenging and frustrating this may have been

    i have been having constant UTI for the past few months too and latest culture of ESBL which is also tough to get rid of, however, lets be hopeful and fingers crossed you will be uti free soon.
