Which will cause me kidney failure first?

Diabetes (the way my Dad went)?

OR

A UTI I've had since March and just won't go away?

And why is it if I have to sneeze, I'll almost always sneeze when my mouth is full of food?

[twooldcrows]

oh my why are you thinking about this ??? i also will sneeze with a mouth full of food...what a mess even with a napkin ...you take care and talk to the doctor more about have your UTI's ....need better meds i guess..sorry don't know anything about them ....take care and be safe....love and much happiness...

So sorry you have been on meds for so long for a UTI Maybe they to send out a sample to an outside lab to find out if there is something else going on? or a different/better med for you to take?

[falalalala in reply to bxrmom]

That's what I was thinking.

Sounds like you could have an allergy to something in the food you are eating. Are you allergic to certain spices? I am sorry about the on going UTI, maybe you need a change of antibiotics. Hope it goes away soon, blessings Jimeka 🤗

what did the urologist say?

[CrazyCatWom in reply to Sandydemop]

The urologists assistant who called withe the results from my urine test saying I had a UTI, which was just evidence that the latest round of antibiotics didn't work. So both the urologist and my primary care came up with 2 different antibiotics I haven't been on. I took those and guess what? As of my primary care's appointment last Friday, no success! So my primary put me on yet another antibiotic

[Sandydemop in reply to CrazyCatWom]

ok. glad the docs are coordinating as that is rare. do you take any pro-biotics?

[CrazyCatWom in reply to Sandydemop]

Yeh, I do.Iav deat with UtiSs for years. I remember the birth control pill I was put on had a 1 in 2 Bilion risk of a UTI as a side-effect . . . I was that 1 in 2 Billion 30 years ago. And when I was in the hospital for 5 months i in 2018, I developed a UTI. What is so weird is how the antibiotics ain't working. I've been on 5 different ones!

[Sandydemop in reply to CrazyCatWom]

ugh. some antibiotics are stronger than others. Hoping for the best. why 5 months inpatient?

[CrazyCatWom in reply to Sandydemop]

I'd experienced 3 brain anurysms.

[Sandydemop in reply to CrazyCatWom]

ugh unbelievable. glad you're ok.

My mother in law went thru the UTI thing too. Come to find out it was gluten. She had become gluten intolerant out of the blue. Now that she is off gluten she hasn't had anymore problems. You might try not eating any breads & breaded foods for awhile & see if that helps.

[CrazyCatWom in reply to hairbrain4]

Oh! I've avoided gluten for years because of gut problems.

[hairbrain4 in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Well, the only other thing I know about UTIs is that the more you take antibiotics the worse it gets. I've also read that low estrogen can contribute to UTIs. I hope you can get some relief soon.
