With my recent diagnosis, I kept mentioning something to all my doctors and they all said it wasn't related. I get frequent Urinary Tract infections. In 2011 I had one every 3 months and they were bad and sometimes antibiotic resistant. I'd be in tears. A couple times there were red blood cells in my urine but, no one ever batted an eye.
I still get them. I drink SO much water now that I feel like I stay ahead of them but occasionally feel like one's about to slam into me.
I'm an obsessively clean person. I cringe when the nurses are like "Shower after sex, etc etc". Yes I know! I do all these things!
Has anyone else had infections like this?
The docs say my kidneys so far aren't involved but there's definitely something wrong in that general area of my body. So much so that I have a standby bottle of Augmentin at home in case the one I thought I was getting actually comes.
I want them to note that as well so they keep an eye on it. My urine is always pretty high in protein as well but again, they are like "Oh that's normal." Um ... no.
