It takes a day or two of feeling s***ty, before I'm pretty sure I'm in the beginnngs of another UTI.. I just gobbled down a bunch of Cranberry caps and washed them down with a big glass of cran. juice.

I'm so tired, all I want to do is lay down and rest/sleep. I have things to do, but they're not gonna get done today.

Just when I cheered up, things got worse.. OH well, just a little side trip and a layover. I will survive.

Feel better soon, SalPal!

Sal,
Feel better, take care of yourself.

Sally, Hope you fee better soon. Hope you get started on antibiotics and do not just rely on cranberry pills and juice.

I also have some AZO. I try to avoid ABs, if I can. We'll see how it goes??

Thanks all..

Are some people more prone to UTI's than others? I don't recall ever having one. (Well, not yet, anyway). Hope you start feeling better soon!!

So sorry Sally, I hope you feel better soon! I have a UTI / Cystitis at the moment so understand what you are going through! For the last 2 days I have been living on the toilet and drinking crandberry juice, lol! I hope yours settles down soon, and mine aswell! Take care hun!

Hope you're feeling better, Sally!

DebbieD, I've used the test sticks for UTIs many times and keep a supply of them around.

They're by no means very accurate but I use them as a guideline. Sometimes when I have symptoms of a UTI and use the test strip and it comes up negative, I decide not to do anything about it and just hope the symptoms will go away. If it comes up positive, I give the doctor a call. The doctor's office will do its own test because doctors don't have much confidence in those home UTI test kits--or at least doctors I've dealt with don't.

For me, the home test is just a way of trying to make sure I'm not calling the doctor needlessly.

UTI all gone..
