Hello

I do feel for you as even though I am middle aged I had my first water infection last week and I really hope I never get one again and it has cleared up as I am not sure if it has

Before I had one if someone said they had a water infection I would think O that is not bad but when you do get one you realise just how bad they make you feel and ill with it

I was put on antibiotics , one I had never taken before and to be honest I will never take it again it made me so ill and I got to the stage I did not know which was making me feel worse the meds or the infection !

So if you get recurring infections I do feel for you

Has your Doctor sent a sample of to me analysed what bacteria could be causing it ?

Sometimes they just do that simple test but then even though it shows certain things up the meds they give you might not be the right ones and could be one reason you keep getting them as you have not been on the right medication

Sometimes it can be just one of those things that know one knows why even though that is not much use when you are suffering

Of course you will know to drink plenty of water , Cranberry juice which has helped me a little

I would take your question and ask your Doctor why and tell them his needs to be sorted as it is making you so ill

Good luck and I really do hope you feel better soon

Take Care x
