UTI- you UGLay!

UTI and yeah, I don't mean Universal Technical Istitute, either. I had never experienced a UTI, until after I turned 30. Some freakin' welcome to 20/10, huh?
I could feel the symptoms early Sunday morning. I love AZO! She has never let me down. I tried to deny the reality and ignored it. Got, to church said a few hail mary's and it got worse. Well, maybe because I'm not Catholic and hail mary's don't really work in the LDS religion. At that point though I was praying to about every God known to man.

I left church early to visit an Urgent Care and $50 later they confirmed what I already knew. They should really make this treatment an over the counter drug. I mean seriously, who wants to load up on antibiotics only to give themselves a yeast infection. NICE, huh? don't worry I don't have the latter. This UTI kicked my butt!

I was just wiped out! I went into work and came home early both days. I ran a fever and crashed for 3 days straight. I felt good enough and took a day trip to BOSTON! woohoo, that was fun. We left Thursday morning and came back Thursday night. I'll share pics of my trip, laterz.

Never had one - sister-in-law gets 'em all the time. NO FUN. Cranberry juice doesn't always do the trick. I had a friend who got one once, drank like 2 gallons off cranberry juice and waited 4 days for payday before going to the doctor. By then it turned into a kidney infection and she was hospitalized! So don't EVER wait!!!

Hi! nice to meet you.

I have about 6 UTI's a year. they are awful. the only thing that works for me is going to the dr.

every year when I blow out my birthday candles I wish that I will never have to deal with a UTI again. I hate them.
