My friend took me to a urgent care clinic yesterday. THe doctor took a urine specimin and it came back positive for "E-Coli!! I am afraid to even look it up on the web, is it the same as the bad on that causes death? It was in my bladder and traveled to my kidneys and I fear its in my blood and I have blood poisioning. I am actually shaking with fear as I write this E-Coli can cause death I read. My vital signs were in the normal range which I cannot believe because I feel so bad, I feel like I did when I had hepatitus A 20- years ago. A kidney infection should NOT cause your body to ache, even my fingers hurt, I cannot eat because of the nausea, I can keep down water and fluids, my husband is stunned I am actually sick, he so wanted to blame it on panic and anxiety, he is remorseful I know he left with our son yesterday, but tries not to show it, right now my husband is not my concern, my son is and me getting better for him. I am so afraid this infection will kill me and my son will be without a MOther, I am on "Macrobid" does anyone know about that? does it make you tired and queasy {I was queasy already} I have had UTI's before and they were never like this it feels like a horrible flu and hepatitus, I feel like the levaquin caused bad damage. I am sorry I do not mean to go on and on, E-coli sounds so bad, and the macrobid scares me because of what the levaquin did too me. It seemed like I got decent care, my back hurts very bad. I am having an anxiety attack I know, I am afraid this is going to kill me, E-coli I know is fatal, is it different from the other one? Any advice would help. I am praying not too die. Thank you, Debbie.
