Title: Gp appointment.
Post by: Shani on December 31, 2010, 02:27:48 AM
Hi everyone!

I went to the Gp this morning because I have been having pain in my lower tummy area.
And bladder issues.

As expected I got a bladder infection/inflammation.
Oh goody, those aren't fun at all!
He gave me antibiotics to treat it and need to take 4 pills for 5 days.

Yucky, even more pills!
But if it has to be done, then I guess so.
I will have fun running up-and downstairs to the bathroom.
Very exhausting but I guess it's good excericse LOL. 

I hope everyone will have a great day.:)
I will just be resting up for tonight and getting plenty of naps, make sure to drink lots of water.

HUGS!

I was going to say, drink alot of liquid or you will dehydrate very quickly.

I get these virus's all the time so I know how you are feeling.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you Cremer, Patze and Kathy. :)

I'll take good care of myself, pinky promise!
And yes, they are definitely no fun at all.

Especially having to run more than ten times to the bathroom per hour. :o

Oh sweetheart~

Well that answers why you have been doubled over in pain! I hope it clears up soon!

Shani is right....DRINK LOTS OF WATER...especially if drinking alcohol tonight cuz it keeps your body from getting a hangover. for every 2 drinks....1 full glass of water!!! I bartended for 8 years and if ya follow this rule, there's less agony in morning! ;D

I had one recently. Lots of water, and I drank water with lemon juice and my Stevia in it. Knocked it out! bladder infections don't like acidic drinks.  ;)

I once heard that cranberry juice was good to help prevent bladder infections.
