Sounds like you might have your problem solved, this time. However, for the future, my advice would be to call your primary physician if you suspect a UTI.
My PCP does not believe that OTC UTI tests are accurate. The other thing to keep in mind is that UTI's can trigger MS-like symptoms, or, can even trigger a flare. In my case, they almost always trigger a flare, even when caught and treated early.
I'm glad that things seemed to have worked out for you, but, because of my hx w/ UTI's, both me and my physicians take them seriously. (I generally also end up calling my neurologist, as the UTI, even after being treated, triggers an MS flare that requires steroids and often hsoptilization!)
