I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help me. I am on my 2nd week of antibiotics, being treated for a Urinary Tract Infection. Well so far it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm having a sensation almost like I have to pee, but not quite like that. It's hard to describe, it's just a sensation.. I thought I might have had a yeast infection from being on the antibiotics and tried the one pill for that, but that didn't help. Could this have anything to do with my JPouch ?
I'm really getting nervous about this & not sure what to do. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Laurence,

Do you have a fever? It could be a yeast infection and you may need more than one Diflucan pill to sort it out. However I think you should go to see a urologist to get to the bottom of this, if only to put your own mind at rest.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree with Shell, could very well be yeast. See a Urologist to get diagnosed and treated. If it is yeast, you will probably feel better after the first Diflucan pill, but be sure to take the second if its prescribed. Good luck, I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for your feedback. I've tried the Diflucan pill, but didn't notice much of a difference. I do have one refill left on it though and I will call the pharmicist today to get it refilled & maybe that'll do the trick I hope. I'm just at a point right now that I can't afford any more copays at the Dr's. Thanks again and if you have any other thoughts I'd really appreciate it alot.

Regards

Lawrence, what antibiotic are you taking for the urinary infection. I had an infection when I came home from the hospital and they gave me 5 days of bactrim. It did the trick, but they told me if it didn't they would change the antibiotic. Not all antibiotics work, so maybe you could call the doctor and see if he can change it for you. Hope you feel better soon,
