UTI

[AnxietyGirl30]

I have been having pain when I wee, so I gave a urine sample to the nurse who told me the sample came back clear, but as I was having symptoms of a UTI the sample was sent to the hospital which showed bacteria was present. So my doctor put me on a 3 day course of antibiotics I was hoping it would be gone by the time I’d finished the course but nope here I am still in pain, in worse pain actually. I have pain when weeing, feeling I need to go constantly but no wee comes out and now some mild pain in my lower abdomen. I’m so fed up :( I called my doctor today but she wasn’t there so I have to wait until tomorrow morning. I’ve been drinking water but don’t really know what else to do :( it’s things like this that trigger my HA when I’m desperatly trying to get over it, it’s so unfair.

One of my best friends has been dealing with recurring UTIs - hers is due to a switch in birth control. It's awful, so irritating. Sometimes the first round of antibiotics doesn't do the trick and the docs need to try something stronger - it's no fun, but it's common and not dangerous, so do remember that.

In addition to the water, cranberry juice is a good thing to drink for UTIs.
