#i have had a uti all week and it has been a nightmare getting antibiotics for it!#i called my doctor's office on tuesday and told them HEY I THINK I HAVE A UTI#and in the past they have always been like np just pee in a cup and we'll send it to the lab and start you on meds all in the same day#but not this time#no they made me go to the lab and then wait until the results came back#and then they called on thursday saying you're results were negative you don't have a uti#and i said oh yes i do i have a bunch of symptoms and am in a lot of pain! and they said just drink a lot of water and call back next week#so i made an appointment with the pharmacy bc they can give you antibiotics for utis without a doctor#but then they said they can't because i'm on immunosuppressive drugs which makes it more complicated (fair)#this happened yesterday#but all day yesterday i had twrrible kidney pain which is what i was afraid would happen!!!!!!!!#so i went to urgent care and they did another urine test and FINALLY gave me a prescription for antibiotics (yay!)#but i can't fill it until i get the urine culture results back and they have to be positive so i am cryong in agony#but also guess what#i downloaded the app to look at my test results and saw the results of that first urine culture#and IT'S NOT NEGATIVE#it says SUGGEST REPEAT SPECIMEN COLLECTING AND TESTING IF PATIENT'S SYMPTOMS INDICATE A URINARY TRACT INFECTION#THAT IS NOT A NEGATIVE#so now i'm in so much pain i might not even wait until that second culture resulg comes in i'm just goina to fill that prescription#i don't want to get sepsis#my posts
