7th course of antibiotics...

[Chloesnavy]

Hey guys! Good news - I don't have to go on an IV drip. BUT, I am now on my 7th course of antibiotics... I have to take two a day for 7 days, and then take one a day for 28 days! ‍ they tested my urine and it had high protein and glucose in it, even though my blood sugar was fine.

You're setting a bad record for the most courses of antibiotics ever taken in a row. In all my years in this profession I've never heard of such a thing. If I were you I'd have seen a urologist a long time ago. I bet they don't even have an organism that they're treating. Good luck though.

@Chloesnavy Lets hope these antibiotics see the nasty little bacteria off! You've had a horrible time of it.

Seriously, insist on seeing a specialist about this. Right? Doesn't that make good sense. They keep doing the same thing hoping for a different outcome. I'm not sure there are 7 different classes of antibiotics used to treat UTIs that can be take orally.

Wow! 7 times! I agree with @TheBigNewt perhaps it's time to explore something else if this batch doesn't help? Take care!

And I thought my sore throat was a record breaker - back in my 20's I was given lots of different ones, with no effect, and then they tried one newly released and - zap - two days later I was feeling that I might be going to live instead of hoping for a merciful release. Of course I took all of them exactly on time.
I do hope that you are soon feeling better.

I know. But they've done everything they can do. They've done a blood test which came back ok, they've done a scam which was fine and they've tested my urine and it was fine.
I've just realised that I haven't been on 7 different types, I've been on five different types, now I'm taking some more that I've had but a longer course. There's not much else that can be done

hope this lot works for you and does the trick of getting rid of the infection

 

[doyoutakesugar]

I, too, think there might be something else at play here... I hope there is not and that this course of antibiotics blitzes it... but perhaps source alternative an diagnosis from a different consultant or a specialist. Always always insist. Get well soon!

 

[serenity648]

all the best, I hope they work : )

Got ketones now

 

[himtoo]

if ketones are high - please ring 111 for their assistance
I am not a doctor -- only a fellow T1 -- but with persistent antibiotics and kidney issues you have mentioned and now ketones
it sounds to me like you need further investigation promptly
