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.

Please take care of yourself is excellent advice! Do that!

I do not have a kidney infection but the infection was working it's way up to my kidneys. I thought my pain was too low for that but anyway I have a doctor's note for work if I need it. Im currently in comfy clothes.

Today is M's birthday and I have had no idea what to get him .. and I've been tired.. so I got him a little "appetizer" birthday gift- a scented candle (he really likes those), Nerds, and a cat t shirt from Wal Mart. and Cheesecake factory cheesecake (from the Wal Mart freezer) for his birthday cake.

The nurse at the minute clinic was worried about my blood pressure at the urgent care she didn't tell me what it was.

The first time she took it at the minute clinic it was super high and the second time it was around 120 something so I need to follow up on that.

Pretty sure my diet is the issue here and since M has high blood pressure as well we need to figure out how to change our eating habits. I know drastic change won't work so I'm trying figure out small changes

The first time she took it at the minute clinic it was super high and the second time it was around 120 something so I need to follow up on that.

It's pretty common for the first blood pressure reading to be high and then subsequent readings to be better (it happens to me 100% of the time at the doctor's office). Definitely worth following up on, though.

I think having a UTI/almost kidney infection qualifies for a rain check for belated birthday celebration.

Yeah my blood pressure is always high on the first reading. Or has been for the past 5 or 6 years. Doctor appointments especially the urology ones are still a pretty active PTSD trigger for me . I think the first reading was around 140 ish...and it has been getting higher.

I used to have blood pressure around 114 whatever at the drs office .

And I was scheduled to work so we were going to do sushi today so we will still do that tomorrow.

I know I've only had one full day of antibiotics and I know this is a bad uti but I am so tired. Not sleepy just tired. And my period started.

Work called and they shifted our shifts so I won't be working until 11. I already tried to take a nap but I can't sleep and yesterday I slept for hours , felt better and then got tired again. I have tomorrow off so maybe Thursday ill feel better
