Well, having never had it before and being diagnosed over the phone (our doctor isn’t seeing anyone face to face) I’m assuming she is correct. Either way, the pain when passing urine is absolutely horrendous - I’ve never known stinging like it. And the whole area is burning and feels raw. It’s hurting just to sit down. Doctor has given me Canesten cream but is there anything else I am do/take to ease the pain? Sorry for delicate nature of question x

There’s nothing worse and you need to be careful of passing it to Mr Smow then him passing it back to you ,

Think I just need a good vet to put me down.........
hope you feel better soon ,you must be the unluckiest person on AB so many things happen to you x
Sorry you are feeling so awful, Smow. It's obviously a very bad infection, that's why you are suffering. Try and nibble on some toast or plain biscuit before you take your next tablet. Dont forget to drink plenty ( sip)

My stomach is just heaving but I’ve managed to eat a Mullerice(only thing I could face). I just want to do something nice for Mr Smow - he’s put up with so so much lately and even tho he rolls his eyes he’s not complained once
Dont worry about Mr.Smow. You're entitled to think about yourself now. Get better first, then you can do something nice for him later.
Maybe Mr Smow thinks you're exaggerating?
Question Author
I asked him if he thought that and he said no. He’s just mad that I don’t eat properly, don’t sleep properly....... I just have no appetite. That’s why Ive started to take protein shakes - I’ve just had one. As for the lack of sleep well that’s been like that for years. I just lay awake for hours and cannot get to sleep
Would you consider ‘ therapy , CBT?
Question Author
I’ll try anything - I’ve done deep breathing exercises, downloaded sleep apps.......
Maybe discuss some sort of therapy with GP .

Think once I’ve got over this I will, Thankyou x
You poor thing Smow, I hope the antibiotics are kicking in and you feel better very soon.

Having a warm, rather than hot, bath with bicarb of soda and/or oats might help to sooth the irritated external areas for a bit, if the skin is aggravated. I used to stick some oats in the cut off end of an old pair of tights, tie the top and put it under the running water, then in the bath and squeeze it gently, so it turns the water milky. Just be careful getting out as it can make the bath quite slippery.

Feel better soon Xx
