Hi Tiffany
Just to let you know I have read your post and want to welcome you. I am sorry to hear about your health problems. You are trying so hard to deal with your memory problems including re using the bathroom in time, but I am concerned about the uti’s which are so frequent. Maybe you need to see your GP for advice? I have heard that taking a cranberry supplement can help to avoid UTI’s. Also drinking plenty of fluids ideally water when you have an infection. We do understand memory issues here so please don’t feel alone.

Hi Tiffany,
I just wanted to let you know that I have read your post and to say welcome. We do understand how difficult it is to have memory problems and when you have other serious health issues, life can be very challenging. Have you seen your GP about the UTI’s? I often have to go back to my GP with recurrent UTIs. I take anti biotics but I have heard that taking cranberry supplements can help as a preventative measure. Also drinking plenty of fluids, particularly water, when you feel an infection coming on.
