Where to go next...

I feel another UTI coming on. I got my herbal tablets and have been taking them, but they are for interstitial integrity, not infection. My last experiences with doctors and hospitals was so bad, I am not sure where to go next. I was thinking of going to my gyne for a checkup, but was trying to recover financially from the last bout of tests and treatments.
I have been researching gentamicin poisoning, and it seems some of my dizziness could be from the antibiotics. None of the doctors that treated me listed this as a side effect.
I keep looking for that light at the end of the tunnel, but all I see right now is darkness.
Maybe I will go see my gyne this week...

Drink a lot of water and I don\'t know about you but some say cranberry juice helps too. Also Vit C with rosehips helps too. Do you take showers or baths? They say baths are not good to take if you get utis. These are just things I have read about. I am taking the vit c and hoping it helps me. Hugs!

oh, UTI are bad. you have an infection. If it not interstitial, then you will have to get antibiotics to get rid of it. Should be an easy urine test. I had a list of food not to eat with my IC. I had to try them and see what worked. Cranberries bother my bladder, as does orange juice or anything very citric. No bathes are not good for UTIs but if you have IC then there things you simply can\'t eat.

My gynecologist is on vacation this week, so I will see him on Monday. I really didn\'t feel like starting over with someone else at this point. I am pretty sure orange juice bothers my bladder and sometimes tomato sauces. I avoid baths. I had not yet tried rose hips. If I just could get one problem cleared up at a time, I would start feeling much better.
