Hi, I'm 22 years old.
About a month ago I started feeling weird twinges when I was urinating and so I thought cystitis was coming on as I've had it once before. It did come on and I was quickly in agony. I went to the doctors and got some antibiotics. That night I barely slept because my stomach was in so much pain and I was sweating and feeling very ill. I went back to the doctors the next day and then sent me into hospital. I was put on a drip overnight and given antibiotics via IV. I was able to urinate without pain after that but i still felt incredibly ill - like I have the flu and very fatigued it was difficult to even shower or walk very far. The hospital told me nothing and discharged me after 24hours with a sheet that said my diagnosis was Urosepsis. They also gave me antibiotics to take orally for 4 days.
I felt ill for a couple of weeks, I started to feel abit better but I was not convinced my urine infection had gone. After 2 weeks I went back to the doctors and got more antibiotics because it was hurting when I urinated. I was on trimethoprim for 3 days which did absolutely nothing. I spent the whole time feeling probably worse. I barely left my bed for 5 days and was in a constant sweat. Came off them and went back to the doctors. I was more bothered about the fact that i now felt like I'd had the flu for essentially 3 weeks. I was unable to work or go into Uni and I'm scared to death to have any more time off. I got more antibiotics nitrofurantoin for 5 days. For the first two days I started to feel better and went into Uni. Then i deteriorated over the weekend just gone. I finished these antibiotics on Saturday and was in work Sunday and had to be sent home. I could barely walk from the pain and feeling so damn unwell. So I left work and went to see the emergency doctors and they have put me on more antibiotics.
OK here are my issues - I appear to have a UTI but I am not responding to antibiotics. My urine samples contain traces of blood but when they get sent off to the laboratory they come back negative. All my urine samples have come back clear. Also I feel so damn ill and fatigued??
I just don't understand and feel so unhappy it's gone on for a whole month :-(
