I presume you've hit the cranberry juice.
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Don't know what to tell you, bonny. Sorry.
Feel better soon, Calli.
I am having A Day. Nothing is going right and I feel incompetent and Angry Girl started crying over the teeniest thing and I accidentally let all the hydraulic fluid out of one jack and and and...
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.
Harvey is in my arms right now, purring his best for bonny and smonster.
{{{bonny}}} I have no advice, only hugs.
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.
Feel better, bonny.
Thanks Fred.
I couldn't find any negative interaction info between the two uti pain relievers...and I'm feeling a bit desperate...so I just took a dose of the Cystex. Please, please let it work and have the antibiotic kick in nowish.
Having taken so many anti-bs in September, now I'm afraid that my body just won't fight on its own anymore.
I wish I could cancel that thought but it's definitely there.
On a totally different note, when I woke up feeling bad last night, I pulled an old novel out...The Wolf's Hour is one of my all time favorites.
Spies. Heroism. Werewolves. Oh my!
The only problem was, I didn't want to stop reading when I really ought to have been putting more effort into sleep.
