Hello Dr. Dede:
3 times in 10 months I did not get to the doctor and take antibiotic fast enough. In those cases I was admitted to the hospital with 103 temps/chills and within a few hours became septic. my body was convulsing uncontrollably/breathing rapid and a RAPID RESPONSE was called.
This condition also causes confusion/exhaustion and is now making me extremely depressed. As a single woman I can not even consider a sex life at this time in my life.
Presently I have been taking the Antibiotics and UNO MP (which has given me some relief in the past), for 1 week and notice almost no improvement. I am worried I am becoming immune to the antibiotics.

Hi Doc...
I went to my Urologists today and he tells me that my abdominal muscles are inflamed from my severe UTI and Septis *9/2016). He says I will feel better over time and we will continue to treat with Antibiotics and the UNO MP. He did a sonogram and said I was voiding urine sufficiently.
I do not have a fever. I do however have abdominal swelling, tenderness, pelvic pain, cronic low back pain, fatigue, exhaustion, and depression. I urinate frequently because a full or even slightly full bladder adds to my discomfort. My urine is minimal with weak stream.
I am following up with my Primary Care Physician next week and believe I should ask him for tests for Celiac Disease and or PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) I read the Celiac can cause malfunction of Gallbladder (I had mine removed 2 years ago) and also cause one to feel so bloated similar to many months pregnant. There is also a study that showed Celiac patients are more likely to become Septic (Ive been Septic twice in 2016).
Please let me know what you feel. I am desperate and my quality of life is suffering.
Hopeful, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry for my late response.
In your situation I think you should do antibodies anti transglutaminasis and antigliadinis to exclude a Celiac diseases as well a colonoscopy .
You should know that a pelvic inflammatory disease can cause chronic pelvic pain that might last for months or years like you have.
I suggest to continue to treat with antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs as your urologist has advised you and you should meet a gynecologist to exclude some uterus pathology.
I hope my answer helps you.
