i'm losing my mind. please help

Posted , 15 users are following.

about 2 months ago i got a really bad UTI. it took over a month for it to go away. apparently the first antibiotics killed the bacteria off, but i was still experiencing symptoms of it and had to take two other kinds of antibiotics. the urologist i visited explained that i was experiencing bladder inflammation from the UTI.

however right now i have symptoms again. i am so uncomfortable. it always feels like i have to go pee. i'm on Macrobid but i don't feel relief. i haven't gotten my culture back yet.

what do i do? i'm honestly losing my mind. i don't know what to do anymore. it doesn't seem like the regular doctors know much about UTIs other than just prescribing antibiotics. and getting an appointment w/ a urologist takes so long.

    Just a PS-- Bianca-- that particular medicine may make SOME of your hair fall out or thin, but I don't think it is like Chemo. I have thyroid problems which already causes some thinning and didn't want to add to the problem. Just wanted to clarify that point.

    That is the thing, you are not supposed to be prescribed different antibiotics, but let the body adjust to one type of medication. Sometimes the problem is solved after being faithful to one medication, and it takes weeks for the medication to start working for the system. The body must get used to the antibiotics before they start working. Switching antibiotics at the first or second hurdle is not recommended.
