Sending many positive vibes your way @mrsterryn for both you and your husband.

It would appear that 14 days of Trimethoprim has cleared up wife's UTI.

on the advice of Urology

Run with that @JohnK.

Actually you won't believe me if I told you that I mentioned to Urology that a cystoscope could prove useful and Trimethoprim is the first antibiotic to help wife's UTI so we should have on hand to self medicate if symptoms return. They agreed.

Urology actually wanted CT scan with contrast but since wife had severe panic attack and paralysis last time we used contrast we declined.

We have further challenges as wife now has high Creatinin and low eGFR. Urology mentioned they do not treat this so we need to go back to GP after next blood test in a few weeks.

That's no good.
Is this new or old?
