Update!
I had my appointment yesterday with the urologist. Infection is gone for now 🙏. She put me on Methenamine one tablet daily .. this is supposed to kill bacteria in your bladder and not allow it to grow. She also has me taking Florajen probiotic. Has anyone tried these meds and did it help?

I've been on methenamine for years. I started with two tablets per day, along with two capsules of D-Mannose (over the counter). After three years, my doctors & myself believe the methenamine was adversely affecting my kidneys, so they cut me back to only half a tablet once per day (P.M.) and one D-Mannose once per day (A.M.). So far, so good. Because of other immune issues a month ago, I had my first interstitial cystisis flare since 2019 and no bladder infections at all. I hope the drug(s) will help you as much as they have me. Good luck!
