Don't have a lot to offer, except that we went through this with my mother...and it was ALWAYS a UTI. The nursing home where she lived never wanted to give her an antibiotic. She was 93 with a UTI and they said that the "state" did not like to see patients on antibiotics. And yet, as soon as she began an antibiotic course,
she was herself again.

Try a dose of D-Mannose supplement daily for control/prevention of uti's. It's very safe and many urologists know about it. Easily purchased in drug stores and Amazon, I use one myself that also includes Cranberry Extract. Has helped a number of people I know, all 80+
