Does anyone permanently wear a mask?

Hi, Im on my second reoccurrence, this time I had strep and a UTI that did me in. How much fun. Now I wear a mask in public and around my friends all of the time, and was wondering if anyone else did this to avoid the risk of strep? I am so scared of getting strep again now, that I can’t ever imagine just chilling in public no mask. I am a teacher too, and I hate wearing this damn thing. Does anyone else do this or how do you guys feel about the strep risk?

(Strep requires antibiotics for anyone who doesn’t know)

Anybody come to grips with their mortality

Hi all. Im very young, too young to be getting c diff, but basically Im trapped in a cycle of chronic UTIs and getting c diff from antibiotics. I tried extremely hard not to relapse. I did anyway. I am going to get an fmt, but infectious disease doc says it’s not going to do much if I keep taking antibiotics afterwards. I also apparently have strep now too. Just had to pay 900$ for half of my Fidaxomicin pills. This is not sustainable. My body is going to get older and weaker each time I get c diff. I basically have accepted i have another good 5 years left if that . On my last round of c diff, I almost died. Anyone else cursed by this in this way?

It’s such a weird feeling. Knowing Im going to die from shitting my brains out. It’s almost comical.

Anyone?

Macrobid changing my stools(am I cooked?)

Am I cooked guys? I’ve had c diff a year ago, took many antibiotics and never relapsed. Well I got a uti recently and needed rocephin and macrobid, Im on day 5 of macrobid (taking florastor and avoiding sugar) and my poop went from normal to bright brown, to piecy, and today it was fluffy and dark. I am so scared, I have two days left of this antibiotic. Should I take more florastor? What can I even do to prevent it

Condom and lube recommendations?

Hello! CUTI sufferer here. I take Methenamine to prevent utis, but haven’t tried having sex much yet. It’s been a long time and I’d like to. What condoms and lube do not give you guys UTIs? I feel like I’ve had success with Skyn condoms in the past. Trojans and any spermicide condom seem to be the worst. I recently tried having sex with condoms and lube and I already have that not right feeling in my nethers.

Sadly, the most uti safe option for me is no condom and no lube, but I don’t want to have unprotected sex + no lube results in a lot of pain for me cause I guess Im kinda dry.

Please let me know what brands have worked for you!! I want to enjoy sec like a normal person.
