    That's a good article. Thanks for posting. I remember reading in a different article, that there is another condition where a negative test might indicate no infection, but there actually is a UTI. I can't find the article now, or remember where I found it. But it said that there is a certain type of UTI that can grab onto tissue linings, and cannot be expelled for a sample to be tested. That article said that if you think you have a UTI, you probably do, even with a culture being done. I wish I had bookmarked the site. Main thing to remember is that you do not want a kidney infection, which could be fatal.

    Ed I know exactly the article your referring to. I tried to find it earlier this week and couldn't. I too thought I'd bookmarked it.

    I'm going to keep looking. If you find it will you please post it & bookmark it? I'll do the same so we'll have it for future reference.
