OK, need some medical advice. White-fonted for possible TMI: I've never had a bladder infection before, so I don't know. But for about the last three days, I've had the feeling that I've had to pee a lot, but I don't actually pee. It's more noticeable at night. There's no blood, or burning or itching, but there's also a low, draggy feeling above/around my pubis. Although I am also on my period, so I really dunno what's going on.

Any ideas? I'm leaving for the lake tomorrow, so prolly no chance at a drs. appt. I do have some leftover antibio's from a nasty bout of bronchitis this spring.

Erin, it sounds like a uti to me. The feeling like you need to pee all the time is a usual symptom.

I have no medical advice, Erin. I'm not sure what it's supposed to feel like either, though the urgency/dragging feeling I've had caused by meds before. I dunno. I hope it's not an infection.

Thanks sj! It's nice to see you too. I have a good doc, so I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow Andi, thanks.

I think I'm going to try to get some sleep now.

Today's Dork Tower reminded me of buffista conversations.

Erin, please do not take the antibiotics (I would actually tell you to throw them away. Taking anything less than a full course is a bad idea). Have you been drinking a lot of water?

Sleep well, Deena. I should probably go to sleep soon too.

Sleep well, Deena, and feel better soon!

Dh and I are now argueing about pie - Erin go tomorrow to the Dr

and get good drugs deena

Anyone else feel like the guy that writes Dork Tower reads here?
