My doctor does require, for the most part, cultures when treating UTIs, unless I am running a really high temperature.

I hope you get to feeling better Quadius I know the feeling as I have had congestion and suctioning, since last Monday and had to go to ER last night for low oxidation as suggested by my visiting and the nurse practitioner on call for the doctor.  ER prescribed a job cipro.  My doctor always makes me get a culture from ostomy and my trach button although nurse did not get the first ones there in time and had to do again yesterday.

I was unfortunately not able to get my flu shot when the health department brought mine Monday.  They are going to save the shot for next Monday.  I get one every year, does anyone else get flu shots

Does your doctor for anyone else's require cultures before they treat you.  Just wondering if that was a common practice for everyone.  I guess the only way to determine if it is viral or bacterial.  What do they usually prescribe you and others on the list?

My luck was going well and then I did a simple blog about how good everything was going.  Every time I do something like that I end up regretting it later.  Anyway, I have been feeling bad for three days now, but at least I am feeling better than I was the two previous days.  I am unsure whether this is a mild UTI or whether it's something viral.

 

Hopefully I will be able to keep up, but I'm sure everyone understands what it is like when you feel like crap.  I tend to stay off the computer as much as possible when I am feeling weak.

 

I hope everyone else is doing okay.
