BLADDER ISSUES

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! The group sure is quiet today! How is everyone doing? Well,

I’ve been fighting something so I’ve been up and down all weekend,

and today.

Anyhow, I wanted to share something with all of

you who fight UTI’s. About 7 years ago, I was getting them left and

right. Mine didn’t have the normal sensations of an infection so I didn’t

know I had one half the time. Then I’d go to the

Dr’s, and one would be there. So they became chronic. I even was taking a

maintenance dose of an antibiotic to make sure they didn’t get out of

hand. The only way I could tell after awhile that I had one was my spasticity

in my legs would get worse. Anyhow,…….it

got to the point where I got sick of having them, so I started drinking a lot of

water. 64 oz a day. It was a trade off, because I ended

up having to pee a lot too, but it was better than being on antibiotics all the

time which nauseated me. So for me it was the water that stopped the

infections. I think it flushes my bladder so the urine doesn’t have a

chance to grow the bacteria that leads to the infections.

I don’t know if this will help anyone else,

but I wanted to share my experience just in case it would.

Hugs and smiles, Jackie
