UTI Help

Hey guys im a 24yo F, Ive had UTI's before. I had a bad one in 2022( I think?) Where i had to be hospitalized because it went up to my kidneys. I had a HORRIBLE experince they poked my veins and I was all bruised up and the hospital was full, I had to sleep in the hallway with the bright ass LED lights on me. To say the least, it traumatized me. I am an anxious person as it is, this gave me health anxiety so now everytime after that I get extremely paranoid.

​

I got my next UTI 2 years after that event, took 7 days of Macrobid and i was good, til now...its been 8 months since my last one. When i first noticed the symptoms, when i got it i took baking soda for 2 days (tmi: the diarrhea was insanity) I tried eveything I could naturally, I drank d-mannose, parsley tea, oregano oil, goldenseal root and cranberry juice. But after 6 days all it did was relieve the pain. The urgency was still there. I decided to get some at home UTI test strips to see if I had anything, the lukeocytes were high so thats when I knew I had to do something.

​

As you may all know, medical services are extremely expensive and im very broke. I have insurnace but it doesnt cover much. I did a virtual visit since that was the "cheapest" and I got my 5 days of Macrobid. I started feeling better, the urgency went away. I finshed the 5 day course, im 3 days in after taking the last pill. Thing is Im close to getting my period so im PMSing I get random cramps, bloating and uncomfortable feelings "down there" at times until my period comes then after that im fine. So im paranoid from it being a UTI, naturally. I feel some pressure sometimes but most of the day im fine and if im peeing a lot its mostly cause I drank lots of water or its in my head thinking I got the infection but I dont feel any pain when I pee. I have no pain while urinating (besides the morning it stings a bit) but my anxiety is killing meee.

​

So I took another dipstick test and the lukeocytes came out positive ;-;. I was doing so good i was happy I was like yeah i got this, I ordered some supplements to help my bladder recover then I see that. I saw that the meds can affect the results of the dipstick so im going to wait til tmrw since it'll be 48+hrs from the last time I took the pill. Im just so scared, nervous and dont know what to do. My thoughts are consuming me ive cried several times already. My husband said im going to be fine and that the medicine is why it's a positive on leukocytes. Hes trying his best to reassure me lol. Im taking d-mannose every night and the urinary tract cleanse +protect from semaine raw garlic and other things. I just want to know what you guys think, if yall can calm me down lmaaooo id greatly appreciate yalls input and advise. Tysm in advance💜.
