I think I have a urinary tract infection. Okay, there isn’t much “think” about it. I’m pretty damn sure I have one.

Don’t you wish you were me?

Plan of action: 1) Chug cranberry juice. 2) If I still feel like this in a couple of hours, call doctor’s office and beg for prescription for whatever it was he gave me last time without a visit on the grounds that I know good and well what a UTI feels like. (Also, I still owe them $50 from my last visit when the nerve block cost way more than I expected and don’t want to rack up any more bills.) 3) If neither of those work, go to doctor tomorrow.

Ack.

I hate those! You can get some over-the-counter pills to help with the cramps, but you’ll still need an antibiotic to kill it off. I used to get them where I’d break out in a fever and vomit. Not pleasant! Hopefully it will go away quickly without too much annoyance. Take care!

Have you tried the powdered cranberry pills? I take them regularly to avoid and double up at the first sign of trouble. (I swear mine are hormonally related and will be so glad to evict Aunt Flo when I get my hysterectomy in Jan)

You /must/ use organic, sugar free cranberry juice. The stuff you buy at the store is usually
just water and sugar, with a wee bit of cranberry flavour, and the bad guys in your bladder
often /love/ that stuff. The organic cran is bad tasing but it really works!
