So saw both neurologist and oncologist yesterday and finally urine showed bacteria. So hopefully this has attributed to his heavy confusion and four days of evening temperatures. Oncology has done all kinds of viral studies prior to urine which didn’t show anything just days earlier. The neurologist did change some of his Parkinson’s meds hoping this would help with last fall ? From low blood pressures ? Also lowered another med. neurology does feel he probably does have some Parkinson’s dementia but can’t test right now because of all the immune problems right now because he would fail. He was so weak he couldn’t hardly walk and we had to get wheelchair. So I’m praying that this little (big) urinary issue get resolved so I have my husband not so confused and feverish at nights.

Hi @jrwilli1, Oh gosh, I hope this new finding of bacteria in the urine is the answer behind your husbands symptoms with confusion. This makes so much sense. A UTI was the first thing I thought about when you mentioned the ongoing confusion for your husband. My mom used to get some sneaky UTIs with the same symptoms. She’d even pass out sometimes. I’d find her on the floor when I’d rush over if she didn’t answer her phone. Scary stuff!

I’ll send a pray right along with you that this will clear up with some antibiotics and get your husband back on track! Don’t forget the yogurt between doses…at least 2 hours after a dose. Helps with potential tummy issues.

Keep us updated, ok? Hugs, Lori.
