FIGHTING THESE UTI'S!

Just got the call from the doctor's office that I have yet another UTI this year. This time it's Strep B which is the second one of those I've had in the last few months. I called the pharmacy and asked them if they could call me as soon as the prescription is ready for pick up. This has been a real struggle for me this year but I am determined to break this cycle. I talked with a good friend from my IC Support Group and she has recommended a very specific Probiotic and I am going to give a serious try. So I have ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive and see if I can change this nasty cycle. It can take some time for it to correct things, but I'm all in and going to give it my all!  I'll post a link to it from the website where I ordered it and I'll keep everyone posted on how it works for me. I'm hopeful and optimistic.

  1. I am sorry you are struggling. This disease is just so horrendous. I honestly think if the military wants to use warfare, well, this is one thing that would be torturous to give to all the enemies. But honestly, I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I pray you can get rid of these horrid UTI's once and for all Cath. Maybe this probiotic will be the answer!! Hope you feel better soon!

  2. Jennifer; Thanks for your kind words of support! It means a lot to me. I am so hopeful about the Probiotic even though I must be patient as I have to be willing to give it a significant time period to truly work. They are here and I have started taking them, so fingers crossed. Not cheap, but will be very worth it if it breaks this cycle. I don't expect to never get another UTI, but I must break this cycle. That is my hope and I am going to do all I can to re-balance things! Thank you for reading and supporting me!
