Hi, Doctor Google is a really bad doctor and never trust his advice at all, he will always bring our panic symptoms rushing to the forefront.
Try to stay calm, I know it's not easy and if you get really concerned, why not give NHS Direct a call and ask to speak to one of the nurses there about it?

thanks liquidsky
i never thought about nhs direct if it gets too bad will give them a ring

I get these a lot, drink lots of water and stay off tea, coffee and booze. You can call NHS Direct or use the NHS out of hours service if you have one in your area. Kidney infection is really serious, you would know as you'd have a raging fever.
Stay off Google!

fly away katie
could you make an appointment at your doctors
ive been told that you take a urine sample and they test it for you

[Fly away Katie]

I think I will do, but last time I took one in, they never got back to me, so it put me off :S x x x By the way, Ive had them in the past, and they can go on their own x x x x

[trolleydolly]

yes mines been on and off all week
you watch now ive made an appointment for monday it will go over the weekend but i will still go just to make sure

[Hazel B]

They should have the dipsticks at the docs, and don't forget that sometimes anxiety can make you pee a lot, it's the adrenalin.

Its always the way Dolly :P x
