Default Just a reminder, for when you suddenly have MINOR symptoms . . .

I have had burning feet and legs, extra fatigue, some weakness, numbness . . . nothing major, but I don't usually get "break-through" symptoms for no reason. For me it's either "all on", or nothing new . . .

I noticed I was getting up more to go to the bathroom during naps and at night. I had no burning or pain, just mostly frequency issues. That happens for me intermittently though, for no known reason.

I happen to have to take my daughter into the clinic this morning, so I figured I may-as-well get tested for a UTI. Sure enough, it was very obvious by the mini-test they do right there and then.

Which reminds me, wouldn't it be good to have one of those testers right at home? Do they sell them?

Anyway, I am always telling people "get checked for infections, if symptoms go on for longer then 24 - 48 hrs", but am so bad about doing this myself. What's with that?

DON'T IGNORE SYMPTOMS AS IT MAY LEAD TO A FULL BLOWN ATTACK.

Fortunately it didn't for me, and I am on the mend.
