Would be really interested to hear your experiences as what I have doesn't seem to fit the text book description of a UTI , so I am a bit
![Huh? ???](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/huh.gif)
For a week or so, have felt a bit itchy down there. Then last weekend noticed that when I had a wee, I could feel something. It wasnt 'painful', more like a muscular pain. The same day I started getting lower abdominal pain when I needed a wee and after -
but no burning etc when I had a wee at all.GP did a urine test and found blood in my urine, so prescribed three days of an antibiotic beginning with a T. That night, got lower back ache. Next day, felt dreadful - horribly fatigued (slept all day) nauseous and shivering. Partner called doctor who swapped the antibiotics to one beginning with an N (sorry, useless with names).
By Thursday, felt tired but better. Continued with the three day course of N.
Then yesterday, once again I felt horribly sick and utterly exhausted. Spent half the day asleep or feeling sick. Still had slight dull ache in lower abdomen, especially after weeing. Called doctor who said unless I had a temperature, then dont worry.
Have now finished the antibiotics and still feel weird. Very tired, almost dizzy, and slight tummy/back pain (not painful).
Are these symptoms typical of a UTI? I am really confused as I thought it was a burning pain when you went to the loo that was the obvious symptom? I've not had this at all?
As I am prone to health anxiety, I am now stupidly thinking the worse - it's something else, it's bladder cancer, I'm going to collapse etc. etc. so I'm keen to hear if anyone else had the same symptoms , and if so, how long they took to go. I really want to feel better and get on with life again!
Thank you so much, B
