U. T. I. ?
 
I may be getting another darn UTI. What was that OTC med that
Mrs D said was good for uti's?

If it heads that way, I know I'll have to call my Doc for an AB, but
I always like to try the OTC method first. Sometimes the Cranberry
caps and UZO tabs will nip it in the bud.

Anyone remember?....MrsD?

Thanks:grouphug:

I don't know the answer but I think I keep a uti! I use Azo for pain but don't think they "cure" it. Mine seems to happen mostly right after my period (sorry guys!)

Been using Echinacea & drinking cranberry juice (the caps work, if you can swallow them).

Keep drinking water; it helps flush your system.

I found it.....D-mannose is the stuff. It doesn't kill the bacteria,
but encourages e-coli to leave the bladder. Must have a stern
talk with it..lol. I'll give it a try???

My cultures always turn out to be e coli as well...and I am fastidious with my hygiene...I'm always embarrassed when the nurse tells me about the culture.

Sal, do you occasionally get sxs of a UTI and then the next day they're gone?

Yes I do. I think that happened this time??
I'm feeling ok today, but it may come back as it does
sometimes, too.:eek:

Hi Sally. I just had one and it sure knocked me down! I hope you recover quickly

tkrik 02-23-2013 12:11 PM

I hope it's not another UTI in the works.:( Glad to hear that yesterday you felt better. Just keep an eye on it and if you feel worse again, get it checked out.:hug:

SallyC 02-23-2013 01:05 PM

Keeping fingers crossed....It's gone!!:D:p:D

Hi Sally,

glad your UTI is going away. I got one while traveling overseas recently. I saw a doctor there. But when I stopped the antibiotics it came roaring back. I now have a fever of 100.4 and all the usual symptoms.

I am at my wit's end with these endless UTIs. It is putting a serious strain on my marriage. I was getting ready to try this D- Mannose stuff as a matter of fact. Has anyone here had success with it?
