I've been struggling with a bad UTI since November. If people recall .. the bug is proteus ... uncool.
It's supposed to respond to the drugs I'm on and when I'm on them the symptoms dissappear. I only medicate if I have a fever or bad pain because foleys are colonized anyway.
My Dr & I agreed to be more aggressive in February and put me on my dosage for THREE WEEKS rather than the usual 7-10 days.
I was fine during the dosage and 3 weeks later. Then Thursday night .. bam! The shakes, fever, etc.
And urololgist-hopping  and tests are scary and usually unhelpful. Been
there, done that.
Specialists seem the worst sometimes. And I'd refuse a cystoscopy now. Had one ... nearly killed me.
