Thanks Laura, oxoxox backatcha.

Hi Eddie, I had an ear infection, sinus, fever, chills and joint aches. My virus went bacterial and I got an UTI too (bacterial). So my anti-b's are really broad spectrum anti-bacterial medication to knock out all bacterial infections It is Tetracycline 500 mg, 4 times a day.

Powerful for me. It knocks the crapola out of me too. Side effect is weakness, well I want to sleep as soon as I take it. Makes me very thirsty too.

Finally my ear popped, not clogged anymore so I guess it is working. I can't tell about the UTI until I go back for a check-up. It feels better but I may need another week of meds, I don't know.

I haven't have a UTI in over 20 years. Microbid or Gantanol used to work for the cystitis and pain. I am allergic to both now. Thanks for your ideas (2 cents).
