chronic kidney infection

I am a 37 year old female who for the last 6 years has had more than four major long standing kidney infections. For three of those years I had no kind of insurance so I was given antibiotics and sent on my way. I was hospitalized once for three days and pumped full of antibiotics,rehydrated, and sent home. In 2002 after another big infection and the same treatment, I thought since I have insurance maybe I should try to find out what is causing the infection all the time. I began seeing a urologist after seeing the doctor and them telling me I had blood in my urine. The urologist diagnosed me with a bladder disease had me on medication for it and ran no test. I stayed on that medicine for almost a year seeing my family doctor throughout the year because of severe right flank pain,low grade fever, and I always felt sick with no energy. Well in 2004 that urologist committed suicide which made me think maybe I should go for a second opinion. Let me also add this doctor tried putting me on about four different antidepressants also. The nephrologist I was sent to after first visit also prescribed me an antidepressant paxil before running any test. I had bad reaction to paxil I went back to him he began running test found I had scarring of the kidney and 10% kidney function loss. He diagnosed me with chronic polyphrenitist and ran another test to see if it was being caused by reflux it is not. I have been on antibiotics for about a year now seems to help some but I still have a lot of pain in my right flank area and they tell me it shouldn't hurt if there is no infection. I still get a queezy stomache every now and then also. Do you think staying on antbiotics for the rest of my life is safe or do you think I should keep pushing to find out what keeps causing the infections.
