...I used to be a busy bee too, and after retired enjoyed cooking, eating, gardening, not a social butterfly but chatted with a few neighbours drove did the shopping kept in touch with others via internet etc., and all that has gone down the drain with ill health but I am elderly now and also not much energy, motivation, and I would rather the resources be used for younger people needing help... I really have that little old lady feeling now - apologies to other little old ladies - and its something I was not prepared for! Old eyes, ears, bowel, bladder...skin and bones.... when I see 99 yr old tap dancers on tv I almost feel guilty. 🌹

A comment to all. Do not give up! I had a recurent UTI since 2019. Also have stage 3b - 4 ish CKD with only one functioning kidney. My urologist finally refered me to an infectious disease specialist. She put me on strong antibiotic ( Cipro ) which I have tried many times in these past few years. She told me they were not perscribing them for a long enough period of time. This time it was for 2 weeks and FINALLY IT WORKED !!! So please don't give up. I have felt awful for so long from this ordeal. I know what you mean about starting to feel old and unhealthy. Talk to your Dr and maybe get a referal to an infectious disease Dr. More importantly keep fighting !!
