Hi everyone, I'm interested in hearing if any of you have succeeded in solving the problem of recurrent urinary tract infections? I've been having a really bad time with it in the past few months, it feels like every few weeks I have one. I've been able to find ways to manage my pain and fatigue more or less, but I don't know what to do about this. I've tried basic antibiotics and cranberry juice, has anyone found a solution?

Hi @CharlieE‍, thank you for opening this discussion. Fibromyalgia has indeed been linked with bladder issues, especially interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infections, and incontinence. Let me tag some other members who can possible share with you. emoticon cute

Hello all, how are you today? Have any of you noticed any bladder issues also occurring with your fibromyalgia? If so, what have you experienced? How have you treated them? Can you share any advice about UTIs with CharlieE?

I have at least one urinary tract infection a month and I haven't found a remedy for them. I usually try to drink plenty of water and cranberry juice when I feel one coming on.

@crystalsmith021409 I'm in the same situation, it's basically one a month. My doctor doesn't really have any answers so it's really frustrating.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
