So sick

[sweetz0625]

I woke up today ending and TOM and starting a bladder infection. My body is still sore and achy a bit from TOM, so I am wondering if I am still holding in fluid, well I better be because I was up 1 1/2 lbs since the beginning of TOM. Anyways, I went to the doctor and now have a UTI. I just feel like crawling into bed and crying and eating ice cream. Especially since that number on the scale today. The doctor game me macrobid and pridoium (dont know how to spell it) to take for 1 week.

Yuck, UTIs are the worst! Pyridium will really help with symptoms. Drink LOTS of water so you have something to produce when going to the bathroom, and if you haven't done so already, I suggest picking up some cranberry supplements. The great thing about cranberry supplements is that you can take them daily proactively to keep your bladder healthy, and you can also take them to speed up recovery during a UTI.
