so I have been dealing with having stomach flu like symptoms for the last few days that decideds to clear up and now I am starting to feel like I have a flippin bladder infection. Which sadly I have now ended up getting so often I can tell when they are coming on...

if it is its fairly small and I am hoping...I can just fight the damn thing back for a while....but omg I hate getting UTIs they are annoying and they hurt so badly and once you get one your like doomed to get the things even more after that.

pile on all this to the fact I had another minor infection earlier in the year...that i am not fully sure I got rid of so I have been trying to take care of that....and that I just started a new job at a local subway here in town and I really like the work but I am starting stress out over...it and I am probably pushing myself way to hard...far too quickly already.

I have work from 4-9 tomorrow, I am gonna go over see my boyfriend after i get off to help me study for a math test he has tomorrow. And in the day I have an appointment with my therapist at 11am....and some how I need to try take care of this possible infection that i have now like ASAP....

oh and I nearly forgot I am supposed to be getting up at 6am to help get a freind a quick ride from work to home. Typically all that is not so bad...but dealing with the fact I have been sick an then just that I can't get better or not be miserable any more nope lol it has to be yet something else again....now I am just pissed and annoyed at this point.. lol yep....

Don't put it off... your health is more important that your job, your BF can certainly help himself study for his own math test, than giving you a risk of serious kidney infection. You seem like caring person but right now it's time to take care of yourself, you seem busy don't forget to stay hydrated

I immediatly started taking care of the situation taking some at home herbs for the situation since I know this can head the infections off if I do something about them early enough.

my bladder has always been an annoyance for me I am 30 years old and I don't really have hardly any bladder control anymore due to all the times I have got UTIs . I am going to see a specalist about it but I need to get on with a program here in town.... since i still have on heatlh insurance and could need help on taking care of all this and not having it cost a fortune.

I used to have chronic bladder infections. I finally say a urologist who performed a humiliating, invasive, painful procedure that just made them worse. Eventually I started taking drinking cranberry juice (it has to be unsweetened) and it kept them away. I qui taking it for awhile and got another which I beat just by drinking cranberry juice til my pee turned pink. I really hate cranberry juice so I switched to cranberry supplements and a tall glass of water. After several months of taking them daily I quit taking them unless I do something to increase my chances of getting them. I've now gone years without one.

Cutting out caffeine an drinking lots of fluids can help too. Do make sure if you get one you continue to treat for awhile until your symptoms have been gone for several days. One time I tried to self treat and stopped as soon as my symptoms stopped and ended up hospitalized with a kidney infection.

Feel better soon!
