Get yourself to the doctor, Andi!!

[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.
Yes, see the doctor, Andi
Thirded, Andi. Doctor!
I went. Yup, sinus infection. NP started me on amoxicillin. And Havey is in my arms, purring up a warm and fuzzy storm.
I got back from the urologist. Amoxicillin isn't going to work so I have another antibiotic and then after that I start on a low dose for an undetermined length of time to try and see if that helps the chronic recurring UTIs. Also I'm going to have CT scans. Just in case I have kidney stones or something. And she prescribed me something for the pain btu the pharmacy wont' have it until tomorrow.
Which is fine because tomorrow I go see my therapist and then Wednesday I see the toehr therapist and finally breka up with her. Which I haven't.
Askye, I'm shocked that no one has put you on a maintenance dose of antibiotics before this.
No one considered it a chronic condition before. I mean I was diagnosed with the IC and I'd get UTIs but the recurring UTIs were just ... a thing. I actually started crying when the Physicians Assistant was treating it was an illness and important and not just an nuisance.
Or that I'm not doing what I should to stay healthy.
Im really glad I'm seeing my therapist tomorrow morning because there is a lot to process and when I was watching Kelly CLarkson perform Piece by Piece I had this flood of emotion and I realized that there's things about my parents divorce I haven't dealt with.
Askye-- do you take baths? Because I know a factor of my recurring UTIs way back when was the fact that I took a bath every day. I bet you know this already, but thought I'd pass it along.
No one considered it a chronic condition before.
This boggles my mind. I'm glad you have someone taking it seriously now.
askye, I am so glad that they are taking you seriously.
