D mannose..Not Working.... and more..

A uti JUST came back this morning after almost 2 years (cries, this sucks!!) that darn ol' burning pain!! - I purchased PURE oil of oregano pills. I've been taking them for colds and flu's and such, and I took one this morning an it seemed to have rid myself of the uti, burning pain has died down a bit. Lets hope it works fully.

Hi. I hope everyone who suffers with UTI gets to read this... I've had recurring UTI for the past 11 years. Drs say I'm one of those women that are susceptible to infections and I should follow the routine of drinking lots of water, wiping in one direction, peeing before and after sex etc, etc. But I've always done all of those in any case and still got them continuously. I did my own tracking or awareness of when I got them and realised, most often, it happened when my partner (for 11 years) fingered me during foreplay, that UTI occurred. Bacteria is in fingernails (no matter how short or even clean, they sometimes get there!) AND/OR in the folds of the skin on a man's penis. Basically not being fingered stopped me from getting UTI. If you really need to have it in your foreplay, ask him to use a condom on hisfingers. As for sex, it can be touch and go, cause this depends on if the folds of his skin could have bacteria and because there's no guarantee of knowing, using a condom might be safer. 

I've done the above and all the regular things of peeing regularly, drinking lots of water etc, and my UTI has stopped completely. If this doesn't work for you, be more vigilant of what your pattern is. You could be getting it for a different reason but I hope I've shed some light and helped someone.

how do i find a post 'about an hour ago " please

This is from a friend's experience....There are mycoplasma diseases. Some are extremely common in the population because they don't cause symptoms in most people. But some people have immune systems which react to them but cannot get rid of them. The thing about symptoms is that there are not very many compared to all the diseases which exist. So you have to test to decide what the disease is. 

There is a disease called ureaplasma. I have heard that as much as half the population has it. My friend came up with this disease. His urologist sent two tests off, one to a large commercial lab and one to a university lab. The commercial lab test didn't show it but the university lab did. After treatment for it, he was fine. His partner had never had a symptom. 

So, ask your doctor to try testing for something like this. Also, you are age 47. In my family early menopause begins in the forties. Thinning vaginal tissue and eventual skin fissures troubled me. I went on hormone replacement. This is another thing to discuss with your doctor. He can test for hormones that will indicate if this is occurring. 

I have been suffering with constant UTI's since I was 8 years old. I am now 32. At one time I had one that was so bad it lasted one year. I tried every antbiotic under the sun. The pain was so bad the only way I could get any sleep was to sleep in a hot bath, I could not even walk it was so awful. I finally managed to get that infection under control after a very high dose and long term of Macrobid. I am now immune to this though as I am to all other antibiotics. It is impossible for me to have sex, or I get an infection that can take weeks to get rid of. Not only that, but it is very painful as I believe my infection is permeantly there. I have E.Coli and biofilms which must have been there years - this has been proved by a Professor in London. I am now going to start taking some bio film disruptors, I heard that it is important to take D-Mannose whilst you do this, as when the Bio films break down they release E.Coli and the D-Mannose attracts this and it flushes out in the urine. What I am wondering is how much D-Mannose I should take? I have read every single comment here (so much useful information, and it's so nice to know I am not alone) and it seems that I am supposed to start with a high dose for the first few days and then reduce it for a 3 month period. If I am disrupting bio-films though, should I not take the D-Mannose at a high dossage until they are gone? Or is three months on a high dose not good for me? I actually have no idea how long it will even take me to disrupt the biofilms. But if anyone can tell me what dose I should be taking whilst I do of the D-Mannose, it would be a massive help. Are there any risks taking it long term at a high dose? I am looking to take the Biofilm disruptor from Kirkman Labs as well as known bio film breakers such as garlic and Olive leaf extract. X
