Anytime you have an indwelling catheter for a few days you have a bacterial infection. When they say you have colonized infections, they mean the bacteria has made a home in your urinary tract. If it's drug resistant, it's mesa. Sometimes the cure is worse than the problem. Do not let others eat or drink with the same cups, plates or utensils. I have used 4 to 5 grams of vitamin C daily for years. Bacteria doesn't like acidic environments. I still have an infection but it doesn't seem to grow. Drink lots of water. Tell your doctor if you are going to do it. Spread the dose out and don't begin at 5 grams. Work up to it. I wish you the best. It's only a suggestion. How you deal with it is your choice. Do consult a doctor.

Personally, we haven’t found one so we cut way down on sugar and use D-Mannose supplement like a teaspoon per day. That seems to keep the bacteria from getting too bad.

I thought for sure that after I got my SP catheter (actually was forced to but it is still a common type catheter for us quads) I would be doing great and, instead, pretty much every month I have been having pathogenic, multi-drug-resistant bacteria in my urine let itself known by giving me my "always indicative" symptoms (severe bladder & flank pain). I have been I intramuscular injections and, of late, Macrobid. Last month when I finished my 7 day prescription of Macrobid it helped but then, just over a week later, my symptoms returned which was a week ago yesterday (on a Monday). Now I have the same bacteria in there and they want to prescribe the same antibiotic but only 5 day dosage! I am thankful it has not gone systemic (give me fever) but the bladder pain is SO BAD. I now think they really know what to do. Especially this time because not only do I have the same to multi-drug-resistant bacteria in there that reappeared so quickly but a third different bacteria that I have never seen in my lab report before ( Streptococcus agalactiae). I thought I would be able to make it until February without getting other infections but I have been getting them pretty routinely since I last saw my urologist in August. Since they are multi-drug-resistant... I am surprised he has not sent me to an infectious disease Dr. Total Lori "Petting, scratching and cuddling a dog could be soothing to the mind and heart and deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer." ~Dean Koontz
