Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 since oct 2008 till now i have a erinary tract infection. i have been on every antibiotics twice > around.been to my primary dr.ra dr now ulogist.she is at her wits end. did any one ever had this Ann, try Cranactin cranberry pills, take 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening and drink lots of water, that should do it. I have an indwelling catheter and this keeps me infection free. You can find them online and at most vitamin shoppe stores. good luck, River Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 So sorry to hear this, Ann. I would call your rheumatologist today and tell her that you are suffering. Don't minimize what you're experiencing. Tell her that you need help. I think River's suggestion of cranberry extract is worth a try. You can run that by your rheumatologist or urologist, too. Please let us know how you are doing.
