So I'm drinking LOTS of cranberry juice this morning |
|
I'm sure most if not all of the women on this board know what that means. :banghead:

4. Oy! Take the pills too. You can also take them daily for prevention. |

23. Advice from my doctor and a nurse friend RE: UTI: |
|
After that activity that can cause a UTI, urinate immediately afterward. This flushes out bacteria from the urinary tract and helps to prevent the infection from reaching the bladder and beyond.
I'm sure that your white cell count is high. If the UTI is really bad, you may have a fever.
Get well soon and take all of your antibiotics and those cranberry pills! :hug:

35. This is great advice. |

Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 03:58 PM by distantearlywarning
The urinating immediately after thing - a friend of mine told me about this years ago when I was suffering from a particularly bad episode. I've followed that advice faithfully ever since and have not had a single recurrence in over 5 years.
It does unfortunately cut down on the post-coital snuggling and all that, but that's a price I'm more than willing to pay for not ever having to go through the evil torture of a bad bladder infection again.

25. Can you mix a little vodka in with that |

That is the WORST...I hope you caught it in time. If not, get on antibiotics before it gets worse.
I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

:hug: I used to have to drink cranberry juice frequently a long time ago. Seems the antibiotics never completely knocked out the infection, and it recurred all too often. It eventually went away, and I've never had a problem since. I hope you feel better soon. :pals:

31. Bummers...Blueberry is good for UTIs too... |
|
If you want a little variety. Try to drink stuff with as little sweetener as possible (fruit juice sweetened instead of sugar or HFCS). The sweeteners can encourage yeasties... :hug:

I don't think that's it but that's my only guess.
I may not want to know why you really did it. :hide:

No, guys don't generally understand the cranberry reference but it's obvious from this thread that all the women do!
(urinary tract infection - and no, you probably didn't want to know!)

It happens. I normally don't get too grossed out about stuff like that.
I thought it had something to do with Penelope's visit. Penelope Period that is. That stuff I don't really understand. So glad it doesn't happen to me every month!

38. I've got to go back to those |
|
But it's been years since I had one of these things. :grr:
Ah, well, I picked up my Bactrim at the pharmacy and I'm taking AllegroRondo and Goblinmonger's advice and adding some vodka to my cranberry. It may not help the infection but it will make it a lot easier to bear!

40. Good to hear you got the Bactrim |
|
When I first moved out on my own I was 2 hours away from the one doctor that had any clue about my medical history. So you call your local docter, tell them what's going on and ask for an appointment - they tell you 3 days later. :wtf: Greatest thing is when they came out with the OTC painkillers - at least that would help the cran juice out alot. And I finally found a doc that said that I was to just call and she'd take care of me - not that this happens that often but when it does :grr:
