@IShYzI i've been having some luck with colloidal silver water, sovereign silver brand from fred meyer. it's a natural antibiotic and really works, on both my uti and my kidney infection. i've heard that after a while you get immune to that too though, and there are other natural antibiotics i am going to try rotating the silver with, like cranberry extract capsules, goldenseal, garlic, etc. also, my condition always gets the worse when i eat a lot of refined sugar, so i'm going sugar free.

i have acute pylonephritis. i've been getting them for almost 5 years now. i take ciprofloxacn and bactrim. I actually take the cipro every day to try and prevent them. But i currently have an infection right now and even though my specialist says it okay i'm worried that my body is growing immune to taking cipro because i take it so often. Is there another option in trying to prevent getting these painful infections?

I have IC but also this year have had recurring UTI's. This occured after a catherized treatment in my urologist's office. I have been numerous antibiotics. Urinary samples show blood, white cells and sugar; however when cultured I am always told the sample grows nothing. Perhaps they do not culture it for 5 full days. Can dr Wainstein talk about IC and also about infections if you have the disease?

Also, I dont fell any pain or anything. Its just that I dont urinate enough

[wingsbucket]

I cant urinate well since february of 2007. That day I felt a strange sensation in my penis, I tried peeing and I knew something was wrong because I didnt pee 'enough' and i felt like i hadnt urinated.

So its been like that sice that day until yesterday, now I pee and its like i hadnt pee'd anything.

Any recomendations???

I had this last summer, mine got so bad that i was in hospital for 2 weeks, i had many different antibiotics/fluids pumping through my veins as many of the initial antibiotics could not fight it. i was being sick a lot, having violent shakes due to my temperature rising, severe pain in my left kidney and my abdominals. this all began through slight urine problems and aching back pain that i ignored. i advise anyone ignoring anything like this to do something before it gets serious like mine did!

[AmelieYvette]

That's awful. I hope I never get that. I had mine for about 3 weeks but the antibiotics got it in the end.
