Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I am dealing with this myself. I have been prone to utis for years and just recently I have had a lot of kidney pain and the burning when urinating. I thought I had it kicked but this morning the pain is back. I avoid antibiotics like the plague...so I would love to hear any advice. I am baffled as to wether it is true kidney pain or my adrenals.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah, thats where its at. Im in low stage 4 too. I tried a supplement called ADren-All with natural adrenal concentrate bovine, and it made me feel worse, since being off them, my scary little episodes (feeling awful for about an hour each day, could barely move, rushy, haert racy, etc....like an adrenile rush they advised on here) have ceased. Im repeating the saliva test soon, and more tests and opting to see another doc. Im glad IM not the only one who gets this. I was getting kind of scared, like I started carrying a note in my purse to try giving me cortisol if in a medical emergency.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Me too...I even have had painful urination when theres no infection present...its becomming really weird. What stage are you in with AF? Im in low 4. I've tried to search for this, but all you get is kidney info, and that about an adrenal crisis. I know we're not alone.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 heluvsmenu- I bought those over the counter " UTI relief tablets " , and take one of those once in a while when I get the painful urination. Try those, they make your urine turn bright orange, but they really really really help! katie > > I am dealing with this myself.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have no idea what stage I am...I couldn't afford the testing. I guess we just have to be proactive about stuff. I do find if I have pain I drink a glass of water every hour and it helps! Re: Flank pain.... Me too...I even have had painful urination when theres no infection present...its becomming really weird.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm another one with frequent UTI's. However, sometimes it is just your bladder spasming when you have that urgent feeling. I think if you are burning then it is probably an infection. My GYN gave me a scrip for the pyridium which is for the spasm pain. I always do that 1st and see if it goes away so that I can avoid the antibiotics. Interesting that it is so frequent with so many of us.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 - your name says you are stage 5, I was wondering what your saliva tests were to compare to mine.. Im said to be in stage 4/5, when I did the saliva test, it didnt put me in a specific box, just in the reference range box. Yes, UTI's are a problem for me! I hate this , and most times, I go into the doctor with painful urination and its not an infection, they say it could be intersticial cytitis, weird? Probably just another part of your body that fails when you've got adrenal problems. Thanks > > I'm another one with frequent UTI's.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 is it at the back around top of kidneys. i have this pain since i am low stage 4. it starts when i overexert myself. i am thinking it is adrenal pain. adrenals trying to keep up with demands of pituitary.it goes away when i take my cortex extract. bw Nil Flank pain.... Is it possible to have flank pain with all stages of AF? I thought it only came with stage 7, or more Adrenal Crisis. Confused again? I experience flank pain every so often, have actually for years, and its normally along with a sore throat or getting sick, and/or a stressful event. Im wondering if this can happen with all stages of AF? I have frequent UTI's, so it could have nothing to do with the adrenals at all. Ive had kidneys looked at several times and everything was good, so this is the next I can imagine, since the adrenals are right there. Any opinions...please....
