Feels like a UTI but test is negative

I have exactly the same systems, I am tired of this.
Just finished a three week stint and three different antibiotics. I did find that just because your urine test shows normal it doesn’t mean you don’t have a uti. Mine were normal but the culture showed E. coli. I must have gone to urgent care 4 times, infact I told them I was going to put my name on a chair in the waiting room. I just finished my cipro which made me very nauseas. But tonight I feel pressure again and I am going to the bathroom more. No pain yet but I have found you don’t necessary get the pain. I started Semaine this week and bought some D-Mannose,I am also using a suppositories. Urgent care said I should contact my urologist but the last time my results came in Friday late and they didn’t call me,I would have gone all weekend without the correct antibiotics. I am at the point of what do I do. I don’t have much trust with doctors having had 3 cancers already. Let me know how you’re doing and what you are using. At this point I am desperate.

Almost the same story, numerous times, except this time I had no symptoms and the infection traveled to my brain. Yes, it can do that. UTI also caused urinary retention and urologist said I would wear a catheter for life,
I actually became psychotic. I have barely any memory of that time. Mostly it's all black, and probably just as well. I'm told it was that bad.
I was hospitalized and put on every uber strong antibiotic known to man. Days later, one finally worked.
Regarding the catheter, that in itself causes UTIs. I'm a widow and haven't had any relations with anyone in five or more years. So it wasn't that.
I went to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion and the first thing the urologist did was to pull the catheter, then told me about a cutting-edge option that could be done if necessary. I haven't been on one since. I practice maintenance, using low dose antibiotics, Azo products, low dose of Lasix, plenty of fluids. My lady parts have never been so clean!
I had to have a quad bypass when I was just 47. This experience was a thousand times worse.
Just my story. Wishing you all the best that you find an answer soon. God bless.
