Re: Klebsiella pneumoniae?
Hi Rheumrs - thanks for the reply!
My doctor called me today and decided to put me on 3 more days of Suprax since I'm still having UTI symptoms. He then wants me to go for a urine culture next Monday to see if the Kleb bacteria is finally out of my system. I'm seriously losing hope that Suprax is going to eradicate the Kleb. Despite the antibiotics, pyridium and 800mg of prescription ibuprofen, my UTI symptoms seem to be getting worse by the hour. I'm really afraid that I may end up in the ER by the weekend - or before.
I wish I COULD afford to go to an infectious disease doctor to get another opinion but I am WAAAYYY over my yearly insurance deductible that I am allowed for specialists. In fact, I owe the urologist a small fortune for my recent office visits. Also, the cost of Suprax - $110 for 5 pills times 2 plus another $72.00 for the 3 tablets I picked up today. $292 total for 13 lousy pills - took almost the last dime I had.
Simply put, I can't afford to get any sicker! Talk about scary....
