I used to have a major problem with urinary tract infections, I have a supra-pubic catheter. My infectious disease doctor and I decided to take another course of action instead of taking antibiotics daily. Now I use a silver impregnated supra-pubic catheter and my infections happen less often.

I know most people say not to do it, but I was getting UTI's every other week. Plus the symptoms really were hard on me. I would sweat and get fevers before the UTI was bas enough to show up on tests. The Uro wanted to do a bladder augmentation, but thought we should try this first as a last resort. Since starting the daily half dose, I have had 2 UTI's in 4 years. Greg _____ Hi group, I read some of the posts regarding the sweating problem. I too have had this problem and ran a bunch of test. The doctors where pretty stumped. I think that I have finally figured out that it's a UTI problem. When we sit up it puts more pressure on the bladder which irritates the bladder when it's already upset from the UTI. It causes pain and then we sweat. I take a daily antibiotic for urine and have no more sweating. I may be wrong but it has helped me. Good luck and great health, Donald C5
