So Tired..............

[leatheryoldbat]

I need this week to end! I think I'm coming down with a urinary tract infection and I definitely don't want it moving on to either bladder or kidneys.....been taking Sitz baths and drinking lots of cranberry juice and hoping that'll do the trick...unfortunately I don't have access to the UGA clinic anymore so I've lost my doctor and I'm not being

ooohhh, you DO need a break! Good luck with the UTI. Are you eating yogurt? I know that's just to maintain bacterial balance, but sometimes one helps the other.

Chocolate . . . .

The Public Health Clinics in Iowa are pretty much show up, register, state your income, play on a sliding scale. No money = no fee. The doctors normally care about what they are doing because they work at those to "make a difference" and you end up with surprisingly good service.

I wish you luck. I have a terrible time with UTI/Kidney issues. I feel for you for sure.

The eye thing sucks. If you sleep on your back, try a wet cloth over your eyes when you sleep. It can help.

Cleaning up other peoples' messes can suck, but obviously, by the reason you're doing so, it was realized this person sucked.

Take care.

Know what you mean.....

I don't get the craving very often anymore....but when I do, I really gotta have it!

[leatheryoldbat]

Thanks...for the "get better" wishes.

I am drinking lots and lots....rum, vodka, whiskey....no, actually lots of water and cranberry juice...like you, I'm thinking that it will help keep it from moving further inside (and possibly flush it out).

The face mask idea is a good one....I couldn't wear one at work, but certainly for at home and during sleep.....couldn't hurt to try. Thanks. :)

sorry to hear you're getting crusty and such. There's Cranberry extract pills also that could be used. Hope it all clears up soon.

Cape Codders (cranberry and vodka)

Thanks.....as I said I'll check with the pharmacist when I go in for my 'scrips then see what happens.

Other than that I'm in realtively good cheer...I'll just be happy the week's over and I have a couple of days to breathe.
