Not What I Had In Mind

[queenofmean]

...for the start of my week. A trip to the Dr to be told I have a nasty UTI - WHY?!?!?! its march and this is like the 3rd one this year

[ummmm]

Are you doing lots of rudies?

[queenofmean]

rudies?

[ummmm]

Sex.

[Mamyalynne]

Only Ummm :-)

[queenofmean]

No I'm not ummm

[lady-janine]

perhaps in your sleep?

[Sqad]

Well....you are a woman....and because of the "intimate" anatomy of the "waterworks" of a woman.....one tends to get recurring attacks of cystitis.

[queenofmean]

LOL nope not even in my sleep lady j, boyfriend has been away at sea for ages and is still away.

Been given some thing beginning with a T can't mind what, but nothing looks at the pain, sorry Sqad not even the usual 400mg of Ibuprofen :(

[Sqad]

Trimethoprim.

Is your washing not very thorough?

[lady-janine]

good luck with it clearing up soon. most painful for you and inconveniencing.

[baza]

Are you drinking enough fluids?

[queenofmean]

That's the one Sqad
I am very thorough when I wash, I also wash my undies at 60 degrees, and mum has suggested that in addition to this I give them a soak in napisan first. As to my own personal hygiene I am very particular about stuff like that. There might be a connection with my diabetes as my sugar levels are running on the high side and this can quite often cause me to get thrush so that might be a contributing factor, I am seeing my diabetes nurse later this week and I'll wait to see what she has to suggest as well

I'm drinking plenty Baza so I don't think that's the problem

[queenofmean]

oh and thank you lady J - its not too inconvenient but it is Bleeding painful

I had lots of tests for recurrent cystitis and in the end there was nothing inherently wrong, and the prof at the hospital told me to eat a portion of natural yoghurt every day and two glasses of cranberry juice. It worked! Knocking on wood, very loudly, I have not had an attack since (two years ago). I do what he said religiously, every day. Could be psychological, but who cares as long as it works!!

Ah!.....good girl.........it will not clear until your blood sugars are under control.

[queenofmean]

I've started on the Cranberry Juice Star but I do have to be careful with the sugars and stuff, but I shall give the Natural Yoghurt a shot. Also drinking more water as I am worried about my kidneys too.

Thank you Sqad, I was told there was blood in my sample, is that just part of the infection or? I know why there was White Blood Cells and Ketones but I can't my head round the blood.
