Long story short been dealing with chronic uti for months now. Antibiotics dont work. Ive been trying to treat it but its not working and ive given up to be honest. I noticed chills fatuigue fever and back pain yesterday. I worked a 12 hour shift trying to power through. This morning i threw up and now know its time to go back to the doctor cause im worried its spread to my kidneys.
To make things worse i dont have health insurance because my dad lost his job and im only 20 and havent had time to enroll with insurance at my crappy retail job. Cause i missed the enrollment period. Which is like what do you mean youre going to deny medical care because i didnt sign up for insurance at a specific time but whatever. The soonest urgent care appointment is 2 hours after my shift is supposed to start, i live 30 mins away and the visit and prescription pick up with probably at least take two hours. Im prioritizing my health because i litterally cant function without it but im so upset. My boss is from a 3rd world country and isnt very understanding, she does retailation cutting hours when she doesnt get her way and treats you like crap if you call in and im so stressed and feel bad for leaving my team on our busiest day of the year.
I need to see a urologist when i get back on my dads insurance but hes going to think im dirty. Ive had other vaginal problems that wouldnt go away and have gone to the dr multiple times for it. Because its on his insurance he can see eveything and every test they run. He finally talked to me and basically told me to stop messing around because i will become infertile. I went to my room and balled my eyes out because that is so far from the truth. Ive been to the dr 2 times for this uti and just know what hes going to think of me if i go to a urologist. Ive gotten a new boyfriend too and yes im 100% sure hes not the cause of my uti so please dont go there and im worried what my dad will think that hes dirty and giving me problems.
I am just thinking about giving up and letting this thing kill me because im just so done. I have tried. Everything. And its just so unfair. Nothing is working my hygiene and my bf is immaculate. I take all the supplements to help, finish all antibiotics and i just cant. I want to die
Please someone respond to this. I dont have anybody to confide in about this and feel so alone.

Go to the doctor. Your health is more important than your job. Is this retail floral job going to be your lifelong career? I don’t think so. Ruining your kidneys and ending up in the hospital long-term is way worse than your boss being mad at you for one day. You can find another job I promise you can’t get another body.
Go to the doctor. It sounds like you need a stronger antibiotic or a longer course than you’ve been given previously. There will be more shitty retail jobs, there’s only one you.
