hi..

I have had an UTI for the last 4 months.. I have been to the doctor and was prescribed Macrobid for 7 days which didn't work. I phoned the doctors again.. and they prescribed with macrobid again for 3 days.. which surprisingly didn't work.. after a third attempt i have been fobbed off and left to suffer.. they did not even attempt to try any other antibiotic..

I am at the end of my tether with it.. it is getting me really down and have had a decent nights sleep on 4 months.. I am shattered.. I have tried cranberry juice and upped water intake (2 liters a day) but it just doesnt seem to work.. please help i don't know what else to do..?? (I am currently in the process of changing doctors surgeries).

    hey. try D-mannose powder and some probiotics.

    hopefully you aren't going down the line of a chronic UTI.

    hope you are feeling better.
