UTI during treatment

I'm wondering if anyone has had a UTI during treatment and if so, how long it took you to stabilise afterwards?

I was doing so so well and was having 1/10 discomfort on a BAD day.. I then had to stop herbs due to a virus and within a few weeks developed a UTI after not peeing after sex. It's been 2 months since then and my bladder still can't get back to that same level of healing I was at.. The other day I even had a day that was a bad as before starting treatment.. I'm feeling really discouraged and sooo tempted to take antibiotics :(

Hi Natalie,
I've been battling a flow blown UTI for three weeks now - excruciating pain for quite awhile.  It seems to be settling down - although it has done this numerous times and kicked back in again.  I too know what it's like to battle not taking the antibiotics.  Did Dr. M put you on UTI herbs? Hang in there - wishing us both good vibes.

Hi Denise,
So sorry to hear about your UTI :( Was yours triggered from sex or was it just random?
Yes she did put me on some herbs (ear & gml - is that what your on?) and it seemed to get rid of most of the infection in 2 weeks, but I still feel like there's a slight infection lingering around that just won't go away.. so frustrating!

Matia has natural herbs that helped me. I took them for a month though, but it went away. I take herbs even if I am sick. Are you under the care of Matia?

Hi Natalie,
Sorry, I win hands down - she's only once seen a uti as bad as mine - Don't think you want to compete for this - I sure as heck don't - I think I'm taking a total of 14 pills.of varying herbs such as Dianthus, gml, some sort of chinese thing starting with a c, garlic, ear, golden seal, and a couple of pro-biotics thrown in to try and stop the diarhea.  At one point she insisted on a trip to my Dr. to make sure it wasn't in my kidneys - I am exhausted, and probably 70% better - she says probably two more weeks - oh joy  I'm not sure I wouldn't have taken the anti-biotics two weeks ago if I'd know things were this bad.  I't just as this point, I don't want it all to be for nothing. OH, YEA H - sex. Not even a day later - it started to hurt right in the middle of the act that SO WASN"T WORTH THIS!....I'm sure I'll decide to do IT again - right now, no way in **LL

Denise - I think I'm with you on this one - definitely don't want to be competing for Dr B's worst case uti!
Really hope it starts clearing up for you, and hopefully sooner than 2 weeks.
How's the anxiety going for you? Any better? :)

Hi Natalie,
Last Friday Dr. B added in another golden seal and another mega - it settled right down.  Yesterday, I cut my protocol down from five times a day to 4 times a day.  So far so good - afraid to jynx it..  My anxiety seems to be so much better.  Neither Dr. B nor I am certain if all this change has made the anxiety better, or that it was starting to get better before I got the UTI - It's something that she's going to work with as I come off all the UTI herbs.
How has your anxiety been?
