Hi. I have not posted in quite awhile. I have been getting recurring UTI's. Anyone else having this problem?
Yes! I've literally had more of these than I can remember. One year I was on seven courses of antibiotics for them Two of the infections turned into pyelonephritis, with a lot of pain and rigors. I was at the end of my tether. Then I found that concentrated cranberry tablets worked well, the key ingredient being D. Mannose. I found it better than antibiotics as it had none of the side effects.
After so many infections, I decided to take D. Mannose every day, as a prophylactic. And I always make sure I have plenty in the cupboard in case of an attack.
Of course if you decide to do the same, do check with your doctor that it is OK for you - I believe it can sometimes be contraindicated for people with kidney problems.
Good luck, this is a miserable thing to put up with.
