Help please-severe uti

[ariane5]

Felt a bit off colour at weekend but didn't think anything of it.

Monday had the feeling of needing to wee a lot, again (stupidly) thought nothing of it.By mon evening had a bit of stinging so started drinking more as thought it may be a uti.

Yesterday morning the pain was so sever went to gp, back pain,abdo pain, burning, stinging and feeling awful.sample was full of white bld cells and very positive for infection, the nurse prescribed trimethoprim 200mg twice daily, by this after noon I felt much much worse so went back to gp my pulse rate was up, I felt shivering and the pain in bladder, tummy and back horrendous.gp dipped todays sample it was worse than yest despite the fact I've drunk loads and taken anti bs.

She changed me to cefalexin 500mg 3 times a day but said they can't be sure its correct anti b untill sample results from tues sample are back from hospital.

I am terrified and in agony, urine is now dark pink (blood I presume?) And my back hurts and bladder pain awful.what if again its the wrong antibiotic.I feel dreadful and frightened.

What shall I do ?

I had something very similar moonbells. It happened a few times. All because of a massive stone and chronic infection that I'd had for years without even knowing. I just had back ache and felt really tired and shivery all the time, then one day I got a fever and started passing blood. It took a few surgeries to completely get rid of the stone, had stents in, nephrostomy etc. All the infection and scar tissue buggered my kidney, leaving it with a stricture and an infection I couldn't get rid of. The bugs were becoming resistant and the kidney function was down to 9%. I had the kidney removed last year and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Sorry for banging on, but you have to take kidney problems seriously.

The Lady Soma Cranberry Concentrate tablets is the ONLY product that seems to halt cystitis in its tracks before it becomes unbearable & I have found over the years that if I use it as soon as the first symptoms of an attack appear, I have no need of antibiotics. Unfortunately it is only available online at their website and on Amazon. but is definitely worth the shipping cost.
