UTI: Another effect of a weakend immune system and long COVID

I came on here just to look up UTIs and long Covid. I NEVER get them, until recently I feel like i was getting some. My daughter gets them and has kidney issues so she left her Pyridium and some antibiotics here. Last week I felt like I was getting a UTI so I took both of those, and it seemed to go away. A few days later, same thing. And if you ever took that you would know it makes your urine orange. Last night I started to feel like I was getting one again and took one and it did not get orange until the following morning which I think is weird, like it’s blocked in there??? . Now it’s night time again and I feel like I’m getting it again! I think this is post Covid related, I have sooooo many symptoms from this stupid thing it’s ridiculous! I’ve been doing this whole thing since February and my whole life has changed. Going to so many different types of drs trying to find out what’s going on. Every part of my body has been affected… 😩

5 UTIs since I got Long Covid February 2021. Never had them before. I take D-Mannose and cranberry supplements off and on as possible preventatives, but am not sure they have helped. Right now trying a supplement of D-Mannose, cranberry, and hibiscus. I drink plenty of water. One thing I’ve read is that after menopause the tissue surrounding urethral opening dries out which makes it easier for bacteria to enter urethra and up to bladder, so I use vaginal estrogen for this. Also use lactobacillus vaginal suppositories and boric acid vaginal suppositories to keep that urethral opening acidic and with healthy bacteria. No longer wear underpants if wearing dresses or skirts ! Bactrim is my antibiotic of choice for treatment.
