Not a happy bunny
I’ve had various aches and pains for a few days, including really bad period-type pains that radiate down into my legs. At first I thought I was pregnant, but I tested, and I’m not. Then yesterday I wondered if maybe I had a UTI as the pains were really strong just after I’d been to the loo. But I had no stinging, burning, frequency or anything like that.
Anyway, I emptied the bathroom cupboards and found some dipsticks from somewhere. I had large leucocytes and large nitrites in my urine – so I’m guessing I do actually have a UTI. But the pain actually seems to be a bit better now, and I don’t like taking antibiotics, and the doctors aren’t open until Tuesday, and I’m working then anyway – so I may just drink loads and loads of water and see how things go. I’m sure it’ll run its course in time, and I’ve managed thus far without antibiotics, so I’m sure I can manage a few more days.
Some minor progress on the essays, I’m getting there with ‘The Role of the Doctor in Maternity Care’, and I’m hoping that I’m going to make that fit quite a few performance indicators, which should help with the workload. I need to get quite a lot done today, and then I’m going to send off what I’ve got to my tutors so that maybe they can get back to me by Thursday, when I finish work.

Rach, grab some cranberry juice as well. It’s very good for keeping UTIs at bay and for the health of that bodily system!

I’ve had intermittent UTI probs as well. Do your kidneys hurt at all? If so – I’d get to the MD if possible. I need to go get tested again I think. So anyway, I know how you feel – my sympathies.
