I am a UTI expert. Go get some AZO and start drinking LOTS of water. You need to just drink as much as possible and avoid soda and coffee and teas. Cranberry juice is good for kidney function but for a UTI you really just need water.

Thanks so much to Helen for my beautiful siggy
Carolyn - Cuz I was in pain last night and wasnt sure what to do - the pain has subsided, and Im able to function today thank god, but I was desperate last night! My dr was closed and we dont have an urgent care that I know of....plus I live 3 blocks from the ER LOL
Angela's recommendation for AZO and water is exactly what I was going to say. If you can't find AZO, you can also look for Uristat, they both work great! Just keep in mind that they will turn your pee BRIGHT orange, lol.
woohoo found some at target!! took 2 and am drinking water now, although I might have one soda since I didnt have my coffee this morning and want to avoid the migrain.....thank you all so much!!!
the ingredient your looking for (in the AZO/etc) is pyridium (you can buy it over the counter now!) it will turn your urine BRIGHT orange but its THE BEST DRUG EVER! it numbs your bladder and ureter (pee tract). I travel with it even! But it DOES NOT CURE it. It only makes you feel better, and can buy you time so you don't have to go to the ER next time.
