Glad you are feeling better, Friend. I'm so sorry for your UTI and all that you had to go through b/c you didn't feel it. Stay well, Friend.

Just a warning about Cipro for UTIs...if you're on zanaflex, they don't mix well...one decreases the effectiveness of the other (can't remember which does what).
also, my neuro told me to take ester c vitamins instead of the cranberry pills, just because the cranberry pills are so expensive, and you urinate out whatever you don't use... "Mighty expensive pee" he said...he feels that the vit. c is just as effective. Ester C goes into the gut, so doesn't get destroyed by stomach acid as quickly...

I sure am trying to stay well. Good thing I'm retired because this staying healthy seems to be turning into a full time job...lol... Do you ever feel that way?

Thank you for your well wishes...you are so very kind always!

I just got done yesterday with my antibiotics for my UTI. Mine started Sunday morning, I drank a TON of water and almost two quarts of cranberry juice just that day. Woke up the next morning and it was a lot worse. Nothing quite like peeing razors.

I ended up going to urgent care to get antibiotics, and the practitioner treated me like a criminal for having a UTI. They gave me a Sulfa and after two doses we discovered I'm allergic to them. So a round of Cypro got me over it.

Some signs are dark urine, strong smelling urine, and for me, feeling dehydrated even with drinking a ton of water.

I'm going to have to find me some cranberry pills, that sounds great and I can't stand cranberry juice.

I hope you don't have to go through this again. Oh and something my pulmonologist told me, about sulfa drugs anyway, was that the reason you are supposed to drink a lot of water with them is that they are very hard on the kidneys. I was drinking more than 13 cups of water a day for three days after stopping them and still so dehydrated that when you push on my finger the skin wouldn't spring back for at least a minute.

Hopefully this thing is gone for good, good luck!

Kristie,
I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't understand why they were so hard on you because you had a UTI. Why do you think that was?

It's interesting about the being thirsty....because I have been drinking so much and yet I am still thirsty that has been going on for weeks. I will have to remember that this can be a sign. I am trying to learn to be more aware of what my body is trying to tell me.

Thank you for your well wishes. I'm sure I am on the mend. I sure hope you don't have to go through this again any time soon, or ever for that matter.

That is good to know...it would be easy to confuse it and think you were treating the infection...so I will remember that Azo pills will treat the sx. I won't get to a drug store for a while but I am going to look into next time we go in to town.

Thanks for you info!

The info on cranberry pills is great. Since I am also "juicing" and LOVING it, I will also add cranberries to some of my concoctions.

But most important, I am glad your fever did not get out of hand and that you are better.
Aarcyn....I would say I'm glad I'm not alone...but that would sound like I'm happy for your numbness and that is not the case. Doesn't it just seem like everytime you turn around you are discovering something new going wrong?!

The juicing sound very healthy...that would work out great for you to add in the cranberry pills!

I am feeling much better today...still achy but my muscles are sore for all the chills. Thank you so much for your response! I hope things go well for you too!
