Sorry your so rotten Don, I had to start antibiotics today for a urine infection too! Hope we will both soon be back on track!
Fun and games !
Nina
Hi Don
Well you donât do things by halves do you? Really hope the antibiotics work and you feel much better quickly.
Nina, hope your antibiotics kick in soon and you feel better soon.
Drink plenty both of you.

Don what a palaver and if only theyâd listened to you in the first place!
Good news though surely it means that when this infection is killed off you will be feeling much better. Letâs hope so!!!
Great blog. Amazes me how you manage to keep a sense of humour in the most dire circumstances. Think you should be in the Queenâs birthday honours so we could call you Sir Disabled Don.
Isnât it Spike Milligan who has on his headstone âI told you I didnât feel wellâ⌠LOL⌠luckily theyâve found the gremlins in your body Don⌠hope you start feeling tons better soon.

Another enjoyable blog Don, though maybe enjoyable isnât what you were trying to achieve. âWell writtenâ might be more appropriate! I hope youâre feeling better now. Like you I find it frustrating when people donât listen⌠We know our bodies much better than they do, which is probably one of the reasons it takes so long to get a dx.
Nina I hope you feel better soon too, rest and fluids they say, but the antibiotics play a big part too.
Take care both of you.

Thanks guys feeling much better but back in bed now writing this.
Nina hope you soon get rid of your IT I.
Pam I am feeling better each day.
Pat Spike allegedly phoned my Dad asking how come all the turf he sold were three feet by one foot did my Dad grow them in boxes? So maybe I got infected at an early age my parents passed away fifty years ago!!!
Cath I feel as if I am drowning
Don
Glad you have such a good GP Don. Hoping you feel better soon. Being poorly in the current sticky climate must be pants.
Snowqueen
Hope you get well soon Nina.
Snowqueen
Hello Don,
I thought you might be poorly id noticed you hadnât been on the forum, and had missed your cheerful comments.
I hope that you are on the mend now.
Michelle x A big wave from me and Frazer xx
Great blog Don, hope the meds have worked their magic. You too Nina hope youâre better soon.

Michelle thanks band can you give Frazer a big hug from me.
Snowqueen I was treated by her husband but he has retired ironically due to ill health. She is great so caring.
Jan the meds are doing good
XXX Don
Thanks Snow Queen,
I get them an awful lot and have done since I was 14. Iâm relatively lucky in that they always start in exactly the same way so they are easily recognizedâŚif I get on antibiotics immediately they are usually gone within a week but if I have to wait for tests as Don did then it can be three weeks to a month before they go.
Take care,
Nina x
Thanks Pam,
I always drink masses of fluidâŚjuice or waterâŚand Iâve come to the conclusion that I get these wretched UTIs after a day or maybe two when my routine goes haywire or I just get muddled and simply forget to drink as much as usual!
Have you seen the dr yet about the possibility of antidepressants? Hope youâre coping?
take care of yourself,
Nina xx
Yes Spike Milligan did have that on his grave stone Pat
Nina xx
Thanks Don,
Luckily for me I didnât have to wait for the results of my sample before starting the antibiotics so Iâm sure I will be on the mend soonâŚI find it shortens the infection immensely if you can start them quicklyâŚpoor you DonâŚyouâve waited so longâŚI really hope they kick in very soon.
I second what Pat saysâŚyouâre blogs are great and I too cannot imagine how you keep youâre sense of humor!
Take care Don,
Nina xx
Thanks Jan

Hi Nina
Yes, I have seen him, got the tablets and started, he did tell me they would take a couple of weeks before you begin to notice a difference.
I am also going to see the clinical psychologist, so they are doing all they can, the rest is down to me now, and just talking about it makes me feel more positive.
Keep drinking and get rid of that nasty uti, take care.
Pam x
Don, best wishes mate. Keep on getting better.

Over five years ago I had a bladder infection which was treated successfully with antibiotics. An elderly friend suggested that I should take glass of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and a capfull of cider vinegar in it daily which I do. Iâve never had a problem with my waterworks since!
Stephen
Hello Don,
Frazer says thank you for the hug. and heâs glad your feeling better WOOF WOOF !
I hope you donât mind me asking but has anyone ever taken Vesicare ? Its supposed to help with the night time weeâs, . shamefully the commode was very much needed⌠iâve taken a couple but feel worriedâŚi know they are there to help with urgency but i get scared they might stop me going.
Thanks Michelle
