HI..I noticed you have a lot of the same symptms I have had recently, I've had those anxiety attacks too, no fun! If I were you, I'd post this on the ASK CUREZONE forum, you'll probably get a quicker response there! I also have been taking cranberry capsules, Vit. C (lots!!!) and lots of water, and yet, the darn thing won't let go! Apparently, these infections hold on! Like I said, post it in the other forum!

I hope we BOTH get some relief soon!

You should not have taken anything that might interfer with the Antibiotics . Did you tell your dr. about the herbs? You will probubly have to try agian with the meds, without the herbs.
Good Luck

The aurvedic herbs have helped me a lot, but the problem may not be an infection. Today however, I am not feel as well as I have been. Since I was feeling better, I cut back on the dosage, and perhaps I was not ready to yet.

The problem may not be an infection,per se. It may be Interstitial Cystitis, an inflammation without bacteria, which is why the Antibiotics seemed to make it worse. It seems, if you take them and there is no infection, they can attack the bladder lining...I think this is what happened, and the urologist said my urine was clear a week ago, no white blood cells and no blood, but I am still symptomatic...at times it is very painful. He wanted me to take Prosed, but I am afraid of drugs.

Why, when I get more symptmatic, do I have so many frequent bowel movements? This is odd for me, for I am usually one a day or less.

Does anyone know of anything that can bring down my unrine PH, which is very high? I think this is causing the problem.

Hi, I just read your post. I don't know if you still need help or not since this was a long time ago. My sister has some similar symptoms as you. She got a UTI and went for Antibiotics , but it didn't go away. She ended up taking several courses of Antibiotics and seeing every doc she could but it still would not go away. She found and herbal doctor who treats IC holistically. Her name is Matia Brizman and this is her website:

She helped to get my sis off Antibiotics and helped her to detox her body of yeast. Matia will work with you specifically to your needs and situation. It is a little expensive but totally worth it if you really want to get better. Besides that I can suggest doing a 2 month detox. This will be able to rid your body of all the toxins and bad stuff and allow your body to start to heal itself. I hope this helps.

The doctor needs order Urine Culture and Sensitivity Urinalysis with microscopic the other test is the the urine with microscopic reflex to culture and sensitivity,

Do not let the doctor just takes a guess at what
the germ is it needs to be identified correctly

This is what happened to me I had WORST headache of my life
dizziness, projectile vomiting and blurred vision felt like I was dreaming went to MD he ran a brain MRI ....nothing showed up.
Three days later I was sick again went to the ER that doctor said it was a headache!
Went to the naturopathic for vitamin C IV and they did a urinalysis and I had white blood cells in my urine the
finally they identified it apparently ECOLI which is pretty common for urinary tract infections

My medical doctor did not believe the naturopathic doctor test was valid because he said it needs to be grown for few days to get 100 percent accuracy. What I found is big disagreement in thinking between doctors, better cross your fingers you get the one that thinks right!
The MD put me On Cephalaxin for 2 weeks then,Nitrufluaratin for 4 days.

My MD to his credit, is an action doctor he ordered
an ultrasound of my pelvic and abdomen.
Then I was sent to the top urologist
in the country. He said it was probably just inflammation of my bladder from a very bad deep seated infection and that the bladder is healing put me on a very low dose Antibiotic for 30 days to keep away any reinfection
if that doesn't do it they will be taking a camera to take a look inside,

I'm not one to sit around and wait for medical doctor to get it right.

I got straight on Robert Vons anti infection drink with 8 drops of SSKI in the drink and few splashes of organic Sugar free cranberry NO Sugar, dairy, grains especially wheat and stay away from coffee alcohol,

My MD said that RETEST of the urine takes place TWO weeks after you have finished Antibiotics , then the you get an
accurate urinalysis test results

Also take good high quality probiotics and Floraster are the ones the studies suggest is the best used in hospitals
