I have been peeing like every five minutes and it is starting to hurt a little when I pee. I pretty much constantly feel like I need to pee. I can't stand this!

Dh and I have been bding a lot so I think that is why. I am not happy about this. I don't have a doctor near me right now and I don't want to go. I asked dh to get me some cranberry juice. I hope he can find some. I am very irritated about this.

Just drink some cranberry juice and hopefully it will clear up on its own. It sounds like it just started if its just slightly hurting.

Drink lots of water, too! UTIs are the worst. Hope you shake it soon.

Ohh.. and if your Dh can manage to find some, there's this stuff called D. Mannose. I think you can find it in like natural food stores. It's great for curing UTIs naturally, and even preventing them. Also If you're BDing a lot, make sure you pee, right after! That's the key to preventing them. *Sorry.. that's my nursing lecture*

Well I just drove to the store myself and got some of that over the counter stuff to help with symptoms. I need to go get more cranberry juice. I drank one little thing of it. I usually drink a lot of water too to try to flush them out. I want this to go away. It is making me nuts.

Patty, ask them about the DMannose... It's a natural sugar that essentially attaches to the bacteria and flushes it out of your system. If you take it every 2-3 hours your symptoms should be gone by tomorrow morning at the latest.

They do suck.

I got one the last time we went on our annual camping trip. Porta-potties for 2 weeks can be a baaad thing! Luckily I caught it early and drank a ton of cranberry juice and water and flushed it away.

Well I live in a rinky dink town. I was feeling lucky to find the over the counter meds. Tomorrow we are going to our homeschool group and we have that in another town that is a little bigger. I will try to look for this tomorrow. Thanks! I really don't feel well now and am thinking about going to bed early.

Ah, thanks for the info! I had no idea you were supposed to potty afterwards.
