Repeat urinary tract infections: What can I do?
I am having repeated urinary tract infections with a variety of bacteria cultured. I have just learned I have fibromyalgia. I need help and don't know who to see. I was also exposed to a lot of mold (Cladosporium, Aspergillus) when I was teaching school. I have retired, but the UTIs have not.

Hi there! I just wanted to drop you a line and ask you if you have considered taking a 'dose' of 2 tblspns of applecider vinegar and organic honey in a half cup of tepid water everyday...preferably (for me) on an empty stomach... its a cute as well as a preventive for UTI's... We have 2 things in common...both retired teachers and have fibromyalgia (before they had a label for it! heh! 🙂 Good luck to you!!
OMG...excuse the typo.,..ha!! I wrote 'cute' instead of CURE... 🙂 Well, it could be 'cute' if it worked for you!!
Hi wellcome to our community.I over the years have had UTI'S myself. But I am an aged care worker I work with people who have high care needs, and many get recurrent Uti's . Bettyann's suggestion sounds good and I think that It would definelty be worth a try. Take care Piglit I too am retired from teaching. I taught children gifted and special needs for many years. So we seem to have things in common .
Hey! How about that!! Awrighty then! I also use Golden Seal Root in capsule form...(for UTIs) but it is a very powerful antibiotic herb and always hesitate to recommend it. Has to be the 'root' ...not just the leaves and stems...and it IS pricey. Well, here comes the weekend. At 'your place' it is already, right Piglet?!
Take care!
That sounds great too. Your more than wellcome anytime. I';ll see you in about twenty four hours lol Take care
Really BettyAnn? Good to know thank you....

1 ReactionI have had idiopathic urinary retention for 12+ years but didn't have problems with frequent UTIs until a couple of years ago. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Most neurologists are clueless when it comes to helping you with or even diagnosing fibromyalgia. I would recommend calling Dr. Gene Neri at (630) 654-3636. He diagnosed me right away and within a week, my pain started decreasing. Improvement is slow but before that my pain was increasing so rapidly that I thought I would be disabled before the end of 2012. I also go to a specialized physical therapist that helps me stay functional for the most part. I still haven't figured out the frequent UTI thing but I am seeing my urologist again in July.

Hello,
Make sure you're wiping correctly. Antibiotics can also cause these. Be well my dear.

1 ReactionThankfully, the UTIs have slowed down greatly since I began med for FM. I am anxious to read about new treatments that don't involve medication. Going to check on a FM clinic that is only 1 hr away from me. I am learning to pace my activities and realiize I can't do all in one day as I used to do! Friends are being understanding-even husband and our grown children!
