Holy crap! I don't know how to feel about that. (I'll have to watch at home because my work computer is so old that it has vacuum tubes. [Not really. But almost.])

Women, I need some insight to either calm me down or spur me into action.

I mentioned upthread that I went to the CVS Minute Clinic on Tuesday to get an antibiotic (sulpha) for a uti.

Well, I thought I was feeling better yesterday but woke up last night feeling pretty much as bad as I did day one. I took my 5th dose (of 14) this morning but am still feeling anxious and burny.

Shouldn't I be feeling better by now?

Also, I didn't get a prescription for Uristat but bought the over the counter Uricalm with the same ingredient. It doesn't seem to be doing any good at all...which is worrying me. The dosage says not to take it more than 2 days, but that's 6 total doses and I've only taken 5 so far.

Not sure what else to do. Any thoughts?

I presume you've hit the cranberry juice.

Don't know what to tell you, bonny. Sorry.

Feel better soon, Calli.

Pills are better than juice - less sugar.

I have. I spent a couple of days trying everything that has worked in the past before going to the clinic. Cranberry, propolis, Alkaseltzer. (no lie--it creates a 'base' state rather than the highly acidic one promoted by cranberry. As I get older, I think my ph has changed such that the high acid just seems to make me feel worse)

I did eat some sugar yesterday and didn't drink a TON of water, though I conscientiously downed many cups of Cinnamon Apple Spice tea.

Thanks everybody.

I'm now trying to research if I can take 'Cystex' which is supposed to do the same thing as the Uricalm but uses a different active ingredient. Can't find anything yet on negative interactions.

Do you think the 'don't take this for more than 3 days' is because masking the symptoms is bad, or because these products could cause kidney damage or somesuch?

Lord knows, there are things I could be spending my time on this morning beside researching this stuff.
