Today I have a few things to do, one of which includes a walk down to the store to get the money order for my rent and a few groceries. For the last few days I have not been able to get myself to the doctor for an infection that I know I have (UTI). I will go on Monday without fail, but in the meantime I have to get through the weekend and I have to do it while enduring PAIN. I do take Pills for it (just OTC acetominophen/aspirin combo) I wonder if I am subconciously punishing myself or something.

There have been other times that I have trudged through my days in physical PAIN of some sort. Do you all function through your pain, or do you lie down and relax. I have put myself in a position of having crap to do, and having to do it while in pain. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

" I used to take something for UTI called, I think, perdiem.
Looked up this:
Other Over-the-counter products include Cystex and AZO or Uristat. Cystex contains the antibacterial methenamine as well as sodium salicylate, a pain reliever. AZO and Uristat contain the medicine phenazopyridine, which works in the bladder to relieve pain. Don't be alarmed if phenazopyridine turns your urine an orange-red color. This is normal.
I have used Cystex too. Also, I think there is a Cranberry supplement.

I would ask the pharmacist, and maybe call the DR to check first, of course, depending on other meds you might take. "

" Ok, I have cranberry juice, I can do that, The doc will prescribe an antibiotic, and I'll take what I have for pain until then.

Ladies: remember when you became a Mommy for the first time, and then realized that even when you were horribly sick, you still gotta take care of that baby. Whew! That was rough "
