UTI is driving me crackers.

I constantly feel like I need the loo all the time.

I'm on Trimethoprim but the course finishes tomorrow and I've still got thiS urge to wee.

No real discomfort. I'll go back to the nurse tomorrow but is there a stronger antibiotic for this kind of thing?

Oh god how rotten you poor thing. UTIs are just awful, I think I would genuinely rather have a bout of D&V.

I don't know about further treatment but obviously you are doing the right thing by going back as clearly it hasn't responded to this particular AB. I assume they'd try another AB

In the meantime can you take yourself to the loo with a book/mumsnet and a big bottle of water and just sit there for a bit flushing it through? It's a bit grim but the only relief I have found sometimes and better than getting up and down all the time

What type of fluids are you drinking? Some things can irritate the bladder and you'd need to avoid them.
