askye, that's a long time to deal with an untreated UTI. Push fluids, particularly cranberry juice. I found cranberry tablets helpful, too. [link]

I hope you feel better, and that you find a way to get treated sooner.

Hello new board!

Hey, askye, I hope you get relief for your UTI soon. Dental anxiety and tactile defensiveness are no joke, either.

Laura, I'm glad you opted for safety.

Wind Sparrow! I’m so glad to see your pixels here! I have missed you!

WindSparrow! Hello love, I think of you often and see you on that other inferior place, but I have missed you here. I do hope you are well. Stick around. Lots of comfy chairs in this new place.

I checked the CVS ehealth website and I have a prescription sent to cvs. Don't know why I didn't get a phone call, text or email but I'll pick it up on my way to work and start taking it.

Gotta love technology.

I also had started taking the D mannose supplements I have and should be taking every day but got lazy about. D Mannose is the sugar in cranberry that makes it work against uti. I don't take cranberry supplements or drink the juice anymore because it is too irritating and ends up triggering the painful bladder syndrome symptoms.

I miss cranberry juice sometimes it's what I drank instead of orange juice when I was younger.

I also realized when I'm running around pulling items at work I don't drink enough because the travel tumbler I use at work isn't spill proof so I don't take it with me. When I'm at cvs I'll get another one.

Hey windy good to see you here!

askye, I started taking oregano oil pills to help with the uti's, and I think it is helping, fwiw.

WS! Hi!

Hey, Windsparrow!

Askye, I can't do straight juice of any kind--too much fructose, too much acid. I cut it half and half with seltzer or club soda. Bonus: fizzy flavored drink! If I want the benefits of a full-strength dose of juice I drink twice as much. Other bonus: drinking more liquid! Win-win.

so I misread what was going on and a year ago I had a UTI and was getting a prescription and that is what I saw. But I did get an appointment at the minute clinic scheduled for tomorrow morning.

I forgot to take AZo with me at work and it ran out and now it hurts. I have kidney area pain but not the worst pain ever and no fever.

Work was slow today and kind of hard becuase I was in some level of pain but also I wanted to talk and celebrate that Biden won. I was very .. almost blase about it until I started reading FB and then it just hit me in a wave.

Well I'm at urgent care to see if I have a kidney infection. Minute clinic said this was too serious for them, apparently if you have flank pain they won't treat for uti.

The pain only started last night and I really need to admit how bad it was instead of trying to just act like everything is ok.

I called out at work and my supervisor was like "please take care of your self".

And my blood pressure was high so I have to follow up with my gp about that.

I really need to find a good GP near here. Guess I'll start asking around at work.
