Urinary Tract Or Something Else? Posted: 03-12-06 00:43am
Question: in january I had a urinary tract
infection which I took an antibiotic for
one week. I took another urine test which
came back improved but not gone all the
way. The following week I had an upper
respiratory infection again an antibiotic.
The following week 10 days of explosive
diarrhea after which I have a pain in my
upper right side right below my ribs. I
still have the urinary tract infection and
sore throat and either loose stools or
diarrhea. My doctor had me do a urine
culture and I had a ct scan yesterday
because of all the things going on. Also
she had me do a stool sample. I am not
taking any medication at this time. 2
days ago I started a low grade fever 99.3
to 100.3, not real high but enough to make
me feel sick. Also I am slightly sick to
my stomach with no vomiting. I don't have
the results from the tests yet.
Could it be a virus making me feel this
way for a month and a half and why doesn't
it seem to be going away. Could it be the
urinary tract infection? I won't probably
have the results until next week.

It's great that you've been to the doctor
and have had the tests done. I rarely use
medicine except for extreme pain...Not
anti medicine I just believe the more we
use say antibiotics the less effective
they become. And even the experts are
saying that the viruses are getting
stronger and seems every time someone gets
sick it takes longer to get rid of it.
Another thing you may not realize about
antibiotics is that although they are good
for getting rid of the "bad" bacteria they
also wipe out the "good" bacteria we need
to maintain health. To bring your body up
to par invest in some probiotics like
lactobacillus sporogenes....Look for it in
the refrigerated section of a good health
food store. Take a multivitamin(i even
overdose with the stuff when i'm sick as
they are safe for short periods of time).
Stay away from the sweets totally until
your well as sugar suppresses the immune
system. Get well and don't worry...In
most cases the simplest explanation is the
most likely one.....Ie virus. :)
