I have had quite a few UTIs and when I first got them in my mid 20s I didn't realise I had one that kept going for months, because I assumed it would settle down eventually. In reality, the symptoms should clear up completely, and if they don't you need to go back to the doctor and make sure you have the right antibiotics. In my 20s and again in my 30s I had a bad one that got into my kidneys, and I now have to be really vigilant as I have scarring on my left kidney caused by the kidney infection in my 20s (I ended up in hospital on IV antibiotics). They tell me now to go straight to doc/A&E with symptoms because the scarring increases my risk of permanent damage if it goes to my kidneys. Yuk. They make you feel so shit, but you don't even realise sometimes when you are running around getting stuff done! Good luck and be vigilant about your recovery!

It's been years now since I've had it but just so you know you can walk into any pharmacy and get the antibiotics for it over the counter. You sign your name etc but because it is such an acute thing it's good you don't have to wait for a doctor's visit.

A little plain yoghurt down below to stop any side effects from the antibiotics, URAL for the acid (stinging). I keep Ural in and take it (with water) at the first signs of a UTI. Fortunately I have never had blood or pain but hate UTIs anyway. In older people (happened a couple of times with my Mum) they can cause neurological symptoms and be mistaken for early onset dementia (cleared up with intravenous antibiotics). I bet you won't wait to see how it progresses if you should get another one.

My most memorable UTI was driving home from Canada to Minnesota. About 6 hours. Peeing every 15 minutes or so without warning! I piddled in nearly all of my clothes in mky luggage. I piddled down the hallways of gas sations because I couldn't make it. I piddled on the side of the road numerous times. I was terrified going through the border in case I peed on the border patrol folks! And imagine! I "think " i could have gone to a pharmacy there and got antibiotics without a doctor or prescription. Not the case in the USA so I never even concidered it. I got another UTI in Costa Rica - I was able to walk into a pharmacist there, no need for doctor. Thank goodness!

Haven’t had one for a few years now but always have a packet of antibiotics on hand and start taking them the minute I sense it coming on. The medication usually is very effective quickly.

We get the meat platter too., sometimes we get that and a curry to share. But usually we get 2 curries and take some some back liike you did. We haven't had the entertainment show before that you had, glad that he left soon.<br />Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and you recover quickly. Those type of infections aren't nice.. Take care. C xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503509944506047687noreply@blogger.com
