Members strongly related to the experience of constant UTIs and urinary problems, with many sharing that frequent infections and bladder urgency have been an ongoing struggle, and one member describing a particularly difficult year with eleven UTIs while on Plaquenil. Several members offered practical strategies that have helped them, including drinking lemon-infused water daily, taking AZO cranberry gummies for urinary support, using Oxybutynin for urgency, carefully tracking water intake, and working closely with urologists to adjust medications when needed. A recurring theme was the relief of discovering they were not alone, with many members expressing gratitude for the community connection and validation that these deeply frustrating symptoms are more common than they realized.

before I was diagnosed I often had a UTI without really being aware of it. Only picked up when I had bloods done. Perhaps I was already starting RA then? Am due for bloods again next month before my visit to rheumy. will see.

I totally have this issue. I hadn't connected it to my RA though. I have had frequenct UTIs and I always have to pee like now!! Good to know I am not alone. It's pretty embarassing since I am only 36.

I have bladder urgency and frequency. Take Oxyvutynin which helps, but get UTis occasionally I drink water with lemon constantly and recently got some
AZO (cranberry gummies) which are supposed to help with urinary distress.
