Ok, so i admit, i had a UTI once and it was not like this one. Plus it was during a time that i was invinsable....now i have lyme and well i tend to think way too much, know way more medical stuff then i need to;;;

and im beyond scared that im going to drink all this water and not be able to rid my body of it.

I just took dose #2 of the abx and the burning is going away....but like i said im afraid cause sometimes i just cant eliminate enough. I have half a gallon left to finish for tonite....plus even more water waiting.

I keep praying and wishing the lyme didnt mess with my emotions, i need to be strong now to fight the bacteria.....i probably have 10 diff bacterias inside me right now.

thanks for letting me vent/cry on here.

Are you taking antibiotics prescribed for Urinary Tract Infection? You need something like Bactrim for that.

You should check with your doctor.

Drinking cranberry juice can be a help and it makes you urinate more often.

Hope you get the help you need.

I just started bactrim today after the ER visit. The Er dr sad the bacteria was prob resistant to the levaquin. This burning constant burning is killing me, i wont sleep tonite. I worry it isnt a UTI.

I share your frustration about mind AND body impairment. If it was just one, you could compensate somewhat by relying on the other; but with both systems wonky.....well, it's just way more difficult.

But on the brighter side, I can still walk, and lots of people can't. I can still talk, and God knows I love to talk! I can feed myself and wipe my own butt (please excuse the..uhm...earthiness) and some folks can't do ANY of the above! So tonight I can be grateful for what I have. But yesterday and day before were dark and bleak. I'm trying to learn to just hang on until the dark times pass. One thing about moodiness is that a brighter one is bound to pop up sooner or later.
