Re: Can a UTI really make you feel this bad?!
Yep, it can.
UTIs can actually make old people hallucinate and say all sorts of crazy things. My grandad had a UTI when he was 83 whilst he was in hospital. He sat talking to the picture on the wall and gave my mum his glass of water, telling her he'd "blessed it" and if she drank the water she would have super powers. No, he didn't have dementia or any other psychiatric condition; he was as sharp as a pin. It was all caused by the UTI, and this all resolved when the abx kicked in.
So yeah, take your antibiotics and you'll be over it in no time! Good luck
