uti won't go away

Hi, I have had a UTI since June 30, 2011. It started with frequent urination and pain after urinating burning in urethra. I went to ER 4 times, tested positive 3 times, other times tested negative (suspecting it was from ingesting huge amounts of water). I took Augmentim, Bactrim, Cipro, and Macrobid all in the hopes of getting rid of the infection. Didn't work. I started going to accupuncture. I took Corn Silk, Uva Ursi, Cranberry, Baking Soda, Lemon water, Vinegar, to no avail. It is incredibly annoying. I have to pee constantly. It burns after. I have constant pressure on pelvis. Also had a sonogram done and confirmed kidney was swolleninflamed. I recently started taking staphasagria and lycopodium. Not improving. I am going today to buy cantharis, nux vomica, and sasparilla. I pray this works. Is there anything else I can do? I really do not want to go on any more antibiotics. I also have been taking probiotics. Please any help. Thank you.

Slight burning at end of urination in urethra.
Left kidney pain
Fatigue
*Loss 10 pounds since this started (June 30, 2011).
(I should mention I had chronic UTI’s when I was younger, age 14-16, also a lot of yeast infetions as well)

10. Since how long are you suffering from each complaint
June 30, 2011

11. Diabetic or non-Diabetic
Non-diabetic

12. Desire sweets/sour/salt
No.

13. Thirst
Varying, sometimes very thirsty. Throughout this (since June 30,2011) I have been drinking massive amounts of water.

14. Tongue and Taste
No change noticed.

15. Current BP (without medicine and with medicine)
Not sure of the number, but my BP is always normal, as of 2 weeks ago it was normal at doctor’s visit.

16. What exactly is happening?
It started as frequent urination and burning and kidney pain. I knew, since I had many previous UTI’s that it was a UTI, so I went to the ER and they dipsticked my urine and found out it was positive for UTI infection. They prescribed Augmentim (antibiotic), that failed to help at all. I called the doctor and told him it wasn’t working and he gave Cipro, this also did nothing. I returned to the ER and they tested me again and it came back positive for a UTI infection. They prescribed Bactrim. This helped a little bit for a few days, then it came back. I waited thinking it would get better. I went to a better hospital and they did a full run up of me. They did a pelvic sonogram (everything was fine), they did a CT Scan and found my kidney was swollenenlarged. They gave me Macrobid and this did help after about 3 days, and I felt fine for about 3 days, then it came back. I haven’t gone back to the ER because I do not want to go on any more antibiotics. I am still having the same symptoms of frequent urination, pain in left kidney, burning at urethra traveling slightly upwards, and pressure on pelvic area.

17. How do you feel?
I feel very tired, and older then I should feel.

18. How does this affect you?
I feel very depressed, sometimes even think it would be better to remove bladder and have a bag so I wouldn’t have to deal with this anymore. I’m very desperate just to feel normal again, cannot take it anymore.

19. How does it feel like?
Horrible.

20. What comes to your mind?
Horrible things as mentioned before.
21. One situation that had a
big effect on you?
Not sure exactly what this means, but I guess I could say that I can never go outside anymore without severe anxiety because I constantly have to go to the bathroom. I have 3 small children and it is very difficult to just stay home.

22. How did that feel like?
It’s very depressing because I cannot do fun things with my kids, or fun things for myself, and I cannot live a life.

23. What sensation do you experience in that situation?
Extreme sadness.

24. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand (Habits or Actions)?
Not sure what this means either exactly. I have to sit down a lot more because if I stand up it makes the need to urinate more obvious and extremely annoying.

25. Current and previous remedies/medicines you are taking or took in the past?
In the past I have taken for this UTI:
Augmentim (antibiotic)
Cipro (antibiotic)
Bactrim (antibiotic)
Macrobid (antibiotic)
Uva Ursi (for 1 week)
Corn Silk (for 1 week)
D-Manose (for 1 week)
Licopodium homeopathic 30c
Staphagyus homeopathic 30c
Cranberry pills
Baking Soda w water
Apple Cider Vinegar
Cinnamon supplement
Raw Honey

Currently taking:
Probiotic 8 2pills 2xday
Cantharis homeopathic 30c 5 pellets 3day
Sasparilla supplement 1 pill 2xday

26. Family Background
Father has had kidney stones, however I had a CT and sonogram and they did not see any stones.
Aunts have had a history of chronic UTI.

27. Educational Qualifications of the patient
I am currently enrolled in college, in my 2nd year, for a bachelor’s degree then planning on going on to get my Master’s.

28. Nature of work, what do you do for living?
Currently I just stay home with children while spouse works, I also go to college.

29. Desires, likes and dislikes for food
I will try everything usually. The only thing I truly do not like and refuse to drink is milk. However, I do take calcium + d suppelements and do eat many veggies and milk products.

30. Name of foods which increase your problem
Coffee.

31. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient…and so on.. How are you different from other persons, public speaking or not , you can describe all of the details about your behavior, love and affections.
I am generally a well-rounded person, however, I am shy and do not enjoy speaking in public or generally being the center of attention. I have always been like this since I can remember. I do become a bit more irritable (snap at loved ones, annoyed by children, etc.) when my period is due. Also if I am tired.

32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases)
I find that if it is hot out and I am hot I will become more aggravated easier.

33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. (if required/optional)

34. Location of the disease
Left kidney and bladder and pelvic area.

35. Side of the problem (Right or Left), (Upper or Lower part of body)
Left and front.

36. Color of the secretions/discharges e.g urine, stool, sputum, Saliva etc.
Urine is generally clear. However, when it started the cloudy urine is the first thing I noticed. Also, staining on the toilet, even after I just washed it. Everything else seems to be normal, no blood. However, if I stopped drinking a lot of water I think it would become bloody, this is what used to happen when I was younger.

For Females Only
37. When is the period during the month approx date? Any monthly cycle issues? Regular, early, late, before problems, after problems, pain, any other discharges?
My last period was August 3rd, 2011. It is approximately 30-32 day cycle. I always have really heavy periods, and a lot of cramps and back pain. This has not changed my entire life.

38. Are you pregnant? If yes, please give pregnancy start date? Any current issues?
No, I am not pregnant now. I have had 3 pregnancies.

Thank you for any additional support you may offer. I sincerely appreciate it.

I forgot to mention I have also started going to an accupuncturist for this problem. I have seen her a total of 5 times.

'Cantharis homeopathic 30c 5 pellets 3day
'
How long have you been taking this remedy? What are the results?

Who suggested this remedy and other homoeopathic remedies?
 
nawazkhan last decade
I actually was googling homeopathic remedies and found that cantharis is good for treating utis. I have only been taking it since yesterday, so that is 3 doses, and I feel slight improvement. I also went for 5th accupincutre treatmeant the same time I started the cantharis so not sure if it was cantharis or accupincutre. Is there anything else I can take to speed up recovery? Also, will the improvement be permanent or do I have to continue the cantharis indefinitely? Thank you.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hi, It is not a good idea to take too much Cantharis. You have already taken enough. Please stop Cantharis.

What you need is Berberis Vulgaris Q, 4 drops nicely mixed with a spoon into 1/4 glass of mineral water, 3 times a day, for 5 days.

Please report progress after 3 days.

Many many prayers for your good health.

Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. I wasn't able to locate any Berberis Vulgaris-Q, only Berberis Vulgaris. Is this the same thing? I'm going to buy some right now.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
I also forgot to mention, it was confirmed I did NOT have a kidney stone via CT Scan.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hi Brooklyn431,

Please buy only Berberis Vulgaris Q. Other will not work. Q is the mother tincture. It is a homoeopathic substance in the crude form. Please order from here at ABC.

If you are unable to get Q, then, please get 1X, 2X or 3X in the pills form?

Good Luck.

Regards
Nawaz

Great! 'confirmed I did NOT have a kidney stone via CT Scan.'

I am really happy for you.

Hi,
I purchased Nature's Answer Barberry Root Extract 1:1 (you can see the product here: http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Answer-Barberry-Root-1-Ounce/d...) and I am wondering if this is an okay dilution? I took one dose (per your instructionsdosage) last night and it seemed to help a little bit, in the morning I was feeling 100% better, but then the symptoms did return a little bit. I took another dose this morning. I will continue until Monday then post how I am feeling.
I also wanted to ask - is it okay to consume water with lemon in it while using this medicine? And are there any other foodsspicesdrinks I should avoid in order to prevent a possible antidote reaction. I am very desperate and need this illness to be over, so I have to make sure the medicine will work. Thank you again so much for your help, I truly appreciate it.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hi,

Sorry, this will not work.

Please get homoeopathic Berberis Vulgaris Q.
Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
Lemon water is OK. No other restrictions!
 
nawazkhan last decade
Okay, I ordered from the website the actual mother tincture, very difficult to find locally in a store. I am hoping it will not take too long to arrive, I ordered with upgraded shipping. So, should I not even bother taking the tincture I specified before (the Barberry root 1:1)? Will this not help at all? Thanks.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Great!

Please do not take the herbal supplement BV that you have with you right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
HI,
I finally received the BV Mother tincture. I am going to begin taking it today. So I will check back on Wednesday with my - hopefully, god willing - progress. Thank you again.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Good! You are welcome. I look forward to a positive report by Wednesday. Good Luck.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Hi,
I have been taking the BV Q since late last night (I believe I have taken about 4-5 doses). I took 4 drops in water, as you prescribed. I feel immenseley better in my bladder (as far as frequent urination and pressure), however, my kidney on the left side is aching quite badly. Is this normal side effect of BV? Should I be worried? Thanks again.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hi, Nice to read about the improvement. Please do not worry as there is no side effect. Do you have any pain remedy at home? Please list all homoeopathic remedies at home right now.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Hi,
I don't have many homeopathic items at home just bv, oregano, sarsaparilla, cantharis, lycopodium,';staphasagrilla(sp?), and tylenol. Since I posted the previous post the kidney pain did improve some. Hopefully it will just go away. Thanks again.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hello, I am glad that the pain is reducing and your UTI is improving.

What potency of Lycopodium do you have?
 
nawazkhan last decade
Hi,
I have 30 c pellets.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
Hi,

Please take 4 pellets of Lycopodium 30C, nicely dissolved in 1/4 glass of mineral water, Only One Dose Please.

Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
Hi,
This morning all of the symptoms have returned. They are pretty bad, once again. I have still continued to take the BV mother tincture. I did not take the lycopodium because the pain had subsided in my kidney. However, the uti symptoms have returned and they are terrible. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.
 
Brooklyn431 last decade
And why didn't you take Lyco 30C dose? Even the pain was less, you must have taken Lyco 30C dose to get well.
