@xixgun It's as if you've gotten too old for your complaints to matter anymore. It would be better to hear them say, "I wish I could help you, but I am sorry to say medical science hasn't caught up with this yet. We just don't have a cure at this time."

I’m very sorry to hear this.
I hoped they became a tiny bit more helpful as we age but it seems they only change the non answers.
My favorite is the slight shrug followed by I really don’t know. come back if it doesn’t go away.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Doctors are trained how exactly to deal with patients and which words to use. Though I understand some doctors are just incompetent and unhelpful
@SW-User lol....that was a good laugh, seriously, brought a tear to eye.

@jetpack I'm a med student 😂 it's another story if they don't necessarily follow what they're taught

Doctors are mostly scams and licensed dope pushers. I avoid them for the most part. Somethings they are useful but others they are not.

@GoldButterfly I'm not quite that cynical, but I did have to go through 8 doctors in 6 years before I found one who knew about my condition and came up with a workable and effective treatment plan. A good doctor is rare, but they do exist.

you have some messed up docs friend.

@MarmeeMarch There are some new antibiotics that address the problem; the one I am trying is methenamine hippurate. It only becomes active when the bladder biofilms release bacteria and an infection starts. I am also taking 1000 mg. of d-mannose daily and nightly to prevent e.coli bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall. There are a lot of new treatments for UTIs and most doctors know nothing about them.

@greenmountaingal good for U - hope it all works out for you

@MarmeeMarch Thank you. I do too. UTIs have all but ruined my life.
Medicare. So great they want us all on it.
