Can a uti make you this freaking exhausted?

Holy crab sticks, not even my ADHD meds are keeping me awake during the day.

I still haven't finished the course of the antibiotics, but the pain is gone, which is great,
And I feel pretty normal, other than this fatigue,
Dayum...

I hope this fatigue goes soon :c

Utis can be very nasty even travelling to other organs and progressing to sepsis. We downplay a lot of the most common infections for women so most of their types/causes/symptoms/complications are not common knowledge

It could be the infection or the antibiotics. The stronger ones are basically sedatives for me. Feel better soon 🫂

Infections and medications can cause that. Hope it gets better quick.

@Fishy I'll add that I am more tired. Obviously it's a stimulant so not having it is noticeable.

@RosaMarie I'm on 40mg 😬

@Fishy I didn't ask my doc. I saw it staring to be less helpful and took it upon myself. That's probably bad advice, but it's what I did and still do. My Doc is aware that I do this. But I most definitely asked forgiveness and not permission.

Antibiotics are notorious for that. After U finish them I buy two 12 packs of activia yoghurt, I like black cherry and mixed berry the best, strawberry and peaches are good too
