Guest guest Posted April 6, 2000 Report Share Posted April 6, 2000 , Cranberry Juice, CranBerry Juice, Cranberry juice. There have been arguments for and against Cranberry juice helping UTIs. But as a frequent suffere they always help me. Cotton undies only for a while BTW.. Also does you meduicine have an anti-biotic in it? If not A-Zol Standard? (spellling?) is an OTC medicine that really works. Ask your pharmacist to point it out. Thjey also have a number of generics of it that are just as good. Where loose fitting pants also, others tend to be very uncomftorable during a UTI. Who is glad she hasnt had one in months!!!! I woke up this morning feeling like crap. Excuse the language. I did something yesterday to my knee. It hurts to even stand on it. For the past few days I have been feeling like I am getting a UTI (urinary track infection, ugh). I haven't had on of those things in 5 years! Why do I have to get one a week or two after losing my medical insurance?! I need a home remedy because I can't afford a trip to the doctor. It seems to be getting worse. I am trying to drink tons of water, but when I woke up this morning my throat was killing me!! And my head and nose are stuffy. :::stomping my feet::: NO FAIR!!!!! I am trying to drink a lot of water but it hurts to swallow. I have some of those over the counter UTI pain relievers. I took two this morning and threw up. I am just a mess!! What I am most upset about is that I have 2 more days to go and I would have completed another whole week of all advanced workouts. What is up with my dang knee???? Anyway, if anyone knows any home remedies for the bladder thing, I'd appreciate it. I am off to go pout. who is also upset because I can't stay signed on for more than 5 minutes without being signed off!

Also avoid anti-histamines. They make the sympotms disappear for a while but they usually just prolongue the illness. If your body needs to flush something out, it needs to flush it out.

It lists a few natural remedies for UTI as long as it is just beginning or a very mild case. If it is severe you will have to go to a doctor and get antibiotics. Good luck. UTI's can be painful.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2000 Report Share Posted April 6, 2000 > I have been feeling like I am getting a UTI (urinary track > infection, ugh). I haven't had on of those things in 5 years! , Keep trying to drink water, to flush the kidneys and bladder. Cranberry Juice is highly recommended by most Dr. AND, THERE ARE NEWER BRANDS THAT ARE LOWFAT AND WITHOUT ALL THE SUGAR. Also, I've been told when this happens to stay away from sodas b/c they are alkaline based which can make the UTI worse. Try this BUT if you start having low back pain, fever, etc. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!! If you get an infection in your kidneys, it could very well be so bad at that point that the only cure would be IV antibiotics (hospitalization). Trust me I was caught in 1986 without insurance with pylonephritis (kidney infection) and spent three glorious days in the hospital that cost $1400+. I hope this helps. I'm very sorry you feel so bad. You just need lots of hugs sooooo {{hugs}}{{hugs}}{{hugs}}{{hugs}}{{hugs}}{{hugs}} Is that better????? ~Sherry~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is up with my dang knee???? Anyway, if anyone > knows any home remedies for the bladder thing, I'd appreciate it. I am off to > go pout. > Hi ! I'm so sorry to hear your not feeling well. Sherry already mentioned this, but it is the same advice I got from my doc for UTI. Lots of water and cranberry juice. If you get a fever you really should see a doc about it. I have read articles about over training causing upper respiratory infections. If it isn't allergies..and this is the time of year for them to start up, you might want to consider cutting back on your workouts. I know that you set a goal for yourself, but exercise should improve your health. If you push too hard for too long it will wear your body down and it won't be able to fight those infections. I think your goal was to do the advanced tapes everyday to condition your body so you can do more of them at the tapings. Look at that goal, then listen to your body and try a different approach to reach it. Give your body the rest it needs to build endurance. Tae-Bo is a very tough work out. We love it so much that I think we forget just how much we are asking from our bodies. -who knows this is a long post..sorry..but I'm having a tough time with this new set up and it might be the only post I get out today.

A-Zol Standard turns things orange also. Did it come with a pamphlet from the pharmacy? I have like a bulk supply of amoxicillin and it pretty much works for everything. I don't know if your doctor od the FDA wants to hear that. But thats me. Call you pharmacy and ask them about the drugs you are on currently. Yo u might not want to tell them you have some spare amoxicillin as them telling you to do go ahead and take it would be against the law. BEFORE you take it...check to see how old it is. Amoxicillin is no good after a year, Hope you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2000 Report Share Posted April 6, 2000 UTI advice...I usually get them every couple of months or so..I have never gone to the doctor for them either...I find that if I drink something that is dieretic then I get rid of it very fast. I drink ice tea....even though I am always going to the bathroom I have found that it helps cause it clears out of your bladder since you have so much liquid in you and you are basically flushing out the bacteria. Why me???? I woke up this morning feeling like crap. Excuse the language. I did something yesterday to my knee. It hurts to even stand on it. For the past few days I have been feeling like I am getting a UTI (urinary track infection, ugh). I haven't had on of those things in 5 years!
