UTI

So a couple of years ago I got a UTI which ended up as a kidney infection and sepsis. I had none of the classic symptoms of burning or extreme kidney pain or even a temperature until it became septic - all I had was increased frequency. This happened twice within a few months. It was terrifying.

Nothing identifiable has ever grown in the lab but dipsticks variably show leucozytes / blood and most recently nitrates.

Since the sepsis I've had UTI symptoms frequently and just now am on third course of antibiotics. I've had a CT scan and cystoscope which show nothing.

I've been drinking more and tried cranberry pills, I've just ordered d-mannose tablets.

Can anyone sympathise or advise? tbh it's not the physical symptoms that are bothering me the most it's the fear of getting sepsis again. I'm living in a state of constant worry. Also the fear something serious is underlying all this.

I should say with this UTI now I'm not even peeing that often it's just that when I wake in the morning I have no bladder control for that one time as I am so bursting.

That must be terrifying. I get UTIs but nothing like yours. There is a sepsis survivors group on Facebook who might be helpful?

Thanks @Purplewithred I am not sure that would help tbh as I think it might make me fixate even more?
