UTI - No Symptoms
I am at the point that I dread the results of urinalysis test. UTI has been showing for the last 5 years. I have never had
any symptoms. Antibiotics have been prescribed the last one was Nitrofurantoin and still the test were positive. The Dr will not prescribe anymore antibiotics. I have tried mega dose of vitamin C cranberry juice and pills, D-Mannose, apple cider vinegar all to no avail. I am 78 years old and at this stage of my life just give up. If anyone is dealing with the same issue sure would appreciate your comments.

I know this might sound a little alarming but it was just my experience. At 61, the only symptom I had that I thought was UTI's, was a difficulty eliminating an all out urine stream. It would start and stop and with effort I figured most was out? I went to Urgent Care three times, each time I was told it was a UTI and given antibiotics. It went away each time so I figured it must be a correct diagnosis. At the 4th time in about a year in a half, I managed to get in to see my M.D. and he told me that all my tests had come back bacteria free so We'd better look at some other things. I had a couple of ultrasounds of my bladder, my vagina, and my abdomen. Nothing was noticable in Nov. of last year so I gave up on it. Boom! Happened again in late Feb. 23 but also with numbness in my legs. Had to go to urgent care again, and even after repeating my story, the doc still insisted it was an UTI. I asked about my stilted walking and numbness and my favorite response from her was,"oh, we don't do legs here, you have to make an appt. with your regular doctor." Well, guess what? I went home, got up to use the bathroom at about 2 in the morning, and I heard my left ankle crack and make a horrible noise. No pain, just numb. I called my daughter, she called 911, went to ER. Now, 6 mos. later I was finally diagnosed by a neurologist after two additional episodes with MOGAD, a rare autoimmune disease! Steroids have been my go to the last three times and now I am supposed to try ritoxin, a chemotherapy drug in 2 weeks. What a tale, huh?
Hi there! I got the juice and drink 1/4 cup (two ounces) daily. Before I has at least one UTI a month - I’ve had none since plus my stomach is soothed (It’s very cranky).
Miracle for me - hope it works for you too.
