[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68078, member: 1991"] I just checked the info site Janna (thanks for it, though) - zithromax is out. I'm allergic to erythromycin (along with about 20 others). The other problem is how the drug is metabolised - for a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) (same thing as bladder infection, but Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) also can describe it when it gets to the kidney) you need an antibiotic which is rapidly excreted through the kidney, so it can flood the kidney, ureters and bladder with antibiotic. I just had the District Nurse here for my Wednesday shot. difficult child 3 said he wanted to watch because he felt that seeing needles in use could help him get over his fear of needles, blood draws and injections. I warned him that watching meant watching my bare behind - he said he didn't mind if I didn't. So I let him watch - he was intent on it all and listening to the explanation from the sister on just why and how it all happens. If this still doesn't resolve (and I've really got no reason to think it will, when I STILL have symptoms) then I guess I'll have to call my specialist again and see what he wants to do next. Meanwhile I keep drinking the fizzy stuff... and buy more swabs. I couldn't find one so we improvised. husband had a bottle of ethanol handy so I had it to use, otherwise I'd have been raiding the gin or the vodka to improvise an alcohol swab. Life's interesting in this quiet little seaside village. Marg [/QUOTE]
