I tested positive for Covid. I was treating those symptoms with Tylenol, rest, tons of water. I’m in my mid 60s and have cystitis, I take estradiol. So there’s a burny feeling sometimes in my vaginal area. I’ve only had one UTI in several years. I was urinating normally (well my normal). I started going into seizures in the middle of the night. Could not control my muscles, hands, legs. I felt freezing and heat at the same time. Not typical chills but full on seizure type symptoms. Husband called 911. Thus sepsis began. My Procalcitonin blood test showed I was at level 4.2. 10 the highest but 4 is a danger zone.
When I saw my local Neph who communicates with my Mayo Neph, I shared my frustration that there is not an home UTI test available!
