So the reason your symptoms might be worse after starting antibiotics is that you might not be on the right antibiotics. Question did they do a culture of both your urine and blood to search for a specific type of bacteria that you have? For all you know you could be fighting off an antibiotic resistant strain of something like I am. I am now certain after 4 days exactly what type of bacteria I have. Turns out I have an E.coli infection and that E.coli is resistant to two different types of antibiotics commonly used to treat E.coli. if you're on antibiotics now and getting sicker should not be waiting until you throw up to go back to the hospital period return immediately. And explain the situation. Trust me the amount of time that you leave a catheter and has nothing to do with whether or not you're going to get sick so limiting your catheter play to only a few hours is not going to protect you. But I'll save that argument for another day right now just get to the fucking Hospital unless you want to die. Might not be a bad idea to get yourself admitted and observed over the course of a few days. If you're exhibiting fevers and chills you're on the same path that I was. Please don't take this lightly like I did, you do not want to know what it's like when this gets to your blood.

No she just listened to what symptoms I had and then prescribed an antibiotic. She told me we should check bacterial culture after 7-9 days when treatment has ended. But I might go back to her tomorrow (in 9 hours) and tell her about the progressing symptoms. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey man you should head to the hospital right away I'm actually in the hospital myself right now for exactly the same thing and had I waited any longer I'd be dead. My bladder infection has made its way to the kidneys and has also made its way into my blood and I'm septic. And it happened within a matter of hours. My blood pressure dropped all the way down to 70 over 30. Get to the doctor right now do not try to beat this infection on your own you will not. Trust me on this one I've made enough mistakes for the both of us get to the doctor. As it stands I still don't know if I'm going to live through this one.

Wow man that sounds scary, I really hope you get better.
What were your symptoms when it progressed?

Thanks for the advice...i'll probably go to the doctor on monday (unlucky I got sick on a saturday, heh?).
Have 38,8 degrees celsius fever and some chills/sweating, some occasional pain on the sides. I think symptoms of kidney uti is nausea/vomiting and back pain, so if I get that i'll head to the emergency straight away.

So i've learnt a lesson,

Last update from me (used up all my catheters hehe)

So around 12h after my failed attempt to insert the second catheter I tried again and succeeded. I wore it for just a little over 24h but had to take it out because of intense cramping and urges to pee (AGAIN!?). This time there was no blockage though. But it seems to me that I can never wear a catheter more than tops two days because of these urges that are completely CRAZY in intensity and frequency.

I noticed something very weird : while I was having these intense urges to pee I noticed that if I try to hold the pee in (as I would

Okay so my 1 week cath journey ended during the night. I had intense urges to pee, like, seriously intense. To the point I was panicking. And panicking is really not good. You kinda lose your mental capacity during the panic. So I was trying to calm myself down by forcing myself to take it slow with everything, like getting the syringe slowly etc. Once I got it out I saw that hole was blocked by a transparent membrane (kinda like when you blow bubbles, you need to have this transparent membrane to form the bubbles). This is 2nd time it happens to me, and I have no clue as to why it's getting blocked. I drank a glass of juice every two hours, I was extremely clean (washing hands before touching catheter and showering after every bowel movement).
