Hi Ann,
Hope you feel better after a good nights rest.
At this moment in time I am looking after my nearly twenty year old son who has a virus which he has worked out is either meningitis or the black death.
I've had to take his temperature three times and supply him with cooling strips for his fevered brow in the last hour. Go to the shop for painkillers, lucozade, etc. Run him a cool bath and then his quilt cause he's hot. He wasn't this much trouble when he was little.
All I can say is he'd better not give it me as I'm working all next week.

ps I think you might be right Wend

Hope you are feeling much better Ann - I also go home after a visit to the doctors and then think of a number of things I should have asked. Being in pain can sure muddle your thinking.

Why oh why do people keep responding to a WUM?!?

I know, you're right, Sue (both comments) :-)

Ann -- I haven't read the thread past the beginning (probably wise, I think) ...

My mum is having the same trouble only no symptoms at all, not the back pain even.

She had a blood test (part of the ongoing lymphoma monitoring) that showed elevated white blood cells, sign of an infection. So they tested her urine and sure enough, an infection. It's just happened again, after she finished the antibiotics. So she's been referred to a urologist.

I suffered from the danged things all through my childhood and young adulthood, even went into hospital for testing (nothing found). Got it from my mum's mother, it seemed. Eventually it just kind of stopped.

Now, I won't make the obvious suggestion that someone may already have. I believe we've discussed that one before. ;)

Take your meds and go back for a test when they're done!

sorry - went back to bed and just resurfaced!!! still have a painful back but in my had don't feel too bad - not hot and cold now and might actually have something to eat - have hit the cranberry juice as well

you're all a soppy lot you know, and it makes me feel very happy to be part of the gang!!! - all soppy together

I had to tell the doctor not to be nice to me this morning cos I felt so tearful a nice word would have opened floodgates!!!

just read your message Janey and I shall to to my GP - he's an absolute dish anyway and I don't see him often enough!!! good reason to go!!

Oh Ann
BIG HUG! All the way to wales for you.
Everyone needs a bit of TLC when they are down, or ill.

forgot to say Katherine - hope your lad gets better soon - mine's in his early forties but always be my baby - though he was looking after me this morning - him and his lovely wife!!! doesn't matter how old they are does it!!

Hi Ann, hope you are feeling lots better today.

Just want to say that if you are buying the cranberry drink, OS one, it's an expensive way to do it as it's mainly water. You can get cranberry extract tablets/capsules from H and B which are more concentrated and if you take them regularly they can help to keep things away, so I've been told so hopefully preventing an infection from starting.
I took them for ages after I had a kidney stone and the urologist said I was doing the right thing, he was the one who told me not to bother with the OS drink as it wasn't worth the money.

Hope you can get rid of the infection soon, last thing you need eh?

Hi Ann,

Hope you feel better today.

Amazing how when your back is out, how much it can lay you low!

Ann of GG,
Hope today is better for you,
take care,
xx

Hi Ann of GG
I don't think we have spoken before but hope you are recovering and feeling better now.

I have had numerous recurring UTI's and know just how miserable they are. I have been investigated and still they don't know what causes them.
Now when I get one I get the usual antibiotics which are then followed up by a low dose of the same which are prescribed for 3 months and taken at night. When these finish I take a cranberry tablet daily which seems to help prevent another infection starting.

hope you are feelong better this morning x x x

Hi there all - many thanks for your kind words and advice - am feeling marginally better today - back still hurts but hoping the medication will kick in soon - hopefully we are all a lot wiser now about this condition now - I certainly am anyway

grateful thanks once again

Hi Ann,
Glad you're feeling a bit better. Took my son to the doctors today and he has a throat infection. She gave him antibiotics and told him to rest as he feels dizzy a lot. He is now lying on the sofa feeling sorry for himself.
I'm off to work in a bit so no doubt he'll cope as everything is in arms reach, remote, drinks etc
You're right though, they will always be our babies no matter.

At one time I had these infections frequently, then I was told about cider vinegar. Taking about ten mil of this , in water, squash, or neat as suits you, daily, will help to keep infections at bay. I too have had the occasional one with no burning signs at all and have been surprised when my sample comes up infected.

thanks for that Jean - something worth remembering - the 6th antibiotic tablet seems to have finally kicked in!! I don't walk with a iimp now!!

LOL Katherine, why is though that often when males get the flu they get it "much worse" than females...

Either they plod along refusing to go to the doctor to get anything to help them get better or when they do finally go, they fall in a heap and can't get off the couch for love nor money to make a cup of tea etc!

Hope everyone is feeling healthy and happy today!
