Thank you everyone for your help.
They did a urinalysis—thankfully, no bacteria showed this time so I won’t need any more antibiotics
This is what I added since last time until my appointment:
Finished doxycycline 1 pill 2x daily.
Continued cranberry+D-mannose pills 2 pills (2-3x daily)
1 fresh minced garlic clove 1x daily
Manuka 24+ 1 teaspoon 2x daily
Oregano oil 1 pill 2x daily
Black seed oil 1 teaspoon 2x daily
Wash with manuka honey diluted with water after restroom
Vitamin k2 and b-complex intermittently
I think I will continue the cranberry’s-mannose pills 1 pill a day until I run out and continue black seed oil and honey as a preventive measure …. Although I’m thinking to eventually switch over to a different honey because in the course of this illness I read some information about methylglyoxal - the antibiotic component of manuka honey- being bad for your brain…? Need to research more….
On a good note - the doctor said I can see an allergist who will test my allergies to different antibiotics
Now 1 thing to note : my UA Hyaline Cast came abnormal (0-5 /LPF)
Any ideas on what I can do here? I have a follow up in a few weeks. And an ultrasound to check bladder since I have leakage/ incontinence issues and I’ve been getting uti about 1x a year.. I think I generally have a weak pelvic floor
Also, I think I will make a separate post — there is still a lot of discomfort during restroom use - they prescribed topical Premarin /estrogen cream and I have not used it yet for vaginal atrophy/dryness/discomfort
I’ve been searching through the RPF/low toxin forum, with mixed opinions….. I think I will try 0.5% DHEA cream to start
I’m trying to get blood work done to determine what kind of hormone therapy I should start…or if I should start on thyroid meds, but maybe I should make a separate post about that
Symptoms:
Insomnia
Fatigue
Body aches
Weight gain
Low energy
Sluggish
More but these are the main ones
