I got a severe one last August and ended up in the emergency room and I don't have MS.
Just getting old I guess....

With UT Radiance. Cranberry based. Knocks them right out. Sugar is usually the cutlet for me which I try to stay away from.

She had advanced Alzheimer’s and was in diapers. Chronic UTI’s which made her absolutely crazy. Then I found this:
Nature’s Answer, UT Answer, D-Mannose & Cranberry Concentrate.
It was either a teaspoon every am/pm or tablespoon in juice and no more UTI’s. Luckily, I found it early on. I use a mail order company so it was a little cheaper.

Thing. I has a kidney situation once that hospitalized me. Take this, and give it to my mother.
So I second this.

so I took AZO (OTC drug) which knocked out the symptoms but not the infection. I finally went to a Minute Clinic and they put me on antibiotic but it wasn't strong enough and I wasn't better. I finally went to my family doctor (after checking their COVID protocol for non-covid patients) and they did the labs and UA. My doctor called me at home the next day and practically shouted at me to get to the hospital because I was SEPTIC! My daughter (an RN) drove me to the hospital and they let me in the ER entrance but she had to stay outside. The tested me for Corona virus as soon as I was on a gurney (negative) and I was admitted and in hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotic! With NO visitors allowed! I was on antibiotics from mid March until mid-September to knock it and I'll never delay seeking a doctor's advice again!

Have only had one infection this year.

That is a record for me after the last year.

Ten infections in one year is serious!

Glad you got the help you require!

Take care!!

Recommended by many online. I take d’mannose instantly at the first sensation of an infection and up my water. You can get bulk powdered on Amazon so you can take a teaspoon instead of the smaller ants in pills. Lots of water is the biggie.
