just feeling awful and haven’t slept all night. have taken all the (appropriate) meds i could find in my house. have also ordered some lady probiotics to try and keep the thrush at bay. any recommendations for recurrent UTIs? i have heard Mandrose (?) is helpful?

or if anyone could pop round and give me a hug that would also be great 😢.

(hug) in a similar boat right now and it hurts. I’ve also got a double ear infection it’s miserable in fact. My sympathies Flowers

If you have a UTI you’ll need antibiotics and then prescribed thrush treatment. (I have long term bladder issues - interstitial cystitis since 14, I’m now 44, I’ve been on long term daily antibiotics for 30 years. If you have recurrent UTIs you need a referral to urology).

Awful. I had a horrible uti on holiday end of June. Couldn’t get ABs, so took an OTC med and drowned myself in water to get through the last 4 days. Then got ABs, which brought on thrush. Got that cleared BUT the sense of urinary urgency has not stopped. Absolutely driving me to distraction. On all manner of meds including estrogen suppositories, hipperx, DManoose - no infection now, just this constant need to pee irrespective of amount. Dr has prescribed mirabegron (which I’m waiting to arrive). I’m coming back as a male cat… hope you feel better soon 🌸

Sorry you’re in such a way OP.
Another one for D Mannose.. game changer.
I hope you feel better soon.

not sleeping as in same leaky boat - week 2 of anti biotics and still have symptoms. I got test strips which have been useful to monitor. Bicarbonate of soda to reduce sting. D mannose is good but for E. coli & I don't think that's what caused mine.
