Default UTI from H***/Heck
It won't go away. Lab tests can't grow any specific bacteria to try to eradicate. PCP trying 4th course of antibiotics, Augmentin. I know it's still there, both PCP and I suspect retaining involved, I'm making Urology appt. with Johns Hopkins affiliated people. Self-cathing may be recommended but can I do that with my use of only one hand? PCP says she doesn't know. In-dwelling cath and increased risk of infection looking bad to me. A home health aide? Hate the thought, don't want anyone around all day, let alone cathing me. I'm engaging in a bout of angry tears at this situation. MS sucks. Oh, and tomorrow is my 54 birthday. Old, can't walk, cathing, well it all just sucks.

Hope you get better real soon, Kicker. MS does bite the big one, doesn't it?

No advice or words of wisdom, just sympathy and prayers.

54??? You're just a baby. I was 15 when you were born. Now if that doesn't cheer you up. nothing will.

UTIs suck the big one! Feel better soon, please.

Kicker, have they considered home health IV antibiotics? When Jim is resistant to oral antibiotics that is the course he takes. His doctor tries to put him in the hospital but Jim manages to convince him otherwise if he doesn't have a fever. Insurance usually will pay for home health for IV because it's cheaper.

Either way, I hope you get some relief soon.

Sandy, I take what you say so seriously, I know you've had experience. Seeing "one the best (receptionist says) JH urologists, PCP has contacted those she considers expert
(MS) on the subject, ordered up new antibiotic. My goal is to follow directions and cath and take antibiotics as prescribed. This sucks.
