Bladder Infections Suck Major...

[Sush]

I'm gonna get me some Cranberry AZO...hit two birds with one stone

If you mix cranberry juice with lemonade, Sush, or even with red wine (haven't tried it myself--neighbor swears by it), it's delicious. I like mine with 2 parts lemonade and 1 part cranberry juice with a bunch of icecubes.. best if drunk in the hot sun by a pool.

I hope you're feeling better, Sush. :::hugs:::

I was going to say to mix the juice. You can buy cranberry mixed with apple juice (natural sweetner) and it's quite nice. Oceanspray makes quite a few sugar free mixes. You don't want the sugar when you have an infection.

Also drink tons and tons of clear fluids (water, herbal tea...) until your pee runs clear and the infection passes. Vitaminc C is also good. I've had a couple mild ones and managed to get them to clear up myself but you do not want them to get worse. I took advil too for the pain and because it's an anti-inflammatory.

I hope it clears up for you quickly!

UPDATE: So I went and saw the Doc yesterday after work and indeed...I do have a bladder infection. They had me pee in a cup and when the doctor came in he told me that there were white blood cells (infection) as well as some glucose. He seemed to think that wasn't too great? He wanted to test my blood sugar for diabetes I guess (never had any symptoms or anything). Ouch, I hate those pricker things. My finger still hurts and I don't have diabetes...not even close. I'm taking antibiotics now as well as the cranberry AZO (thanks to all of you ) Hopefully I'll be living life infection free in a week! Woohoo

You'll feel a lot better even by tomorrow. I'm glad that you're on the road to recovery. ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
