That's good about the infection, though I sympathise regarding the needs for further investigation.  However, these things need to be done.  I needed to have a dye injected to have my kidneys tested many moons ago after a particularly bad infection. Then at a later date needed op to stretch urethra. Delightful! However, apart from a touch of cystitis have been fine since.

Us ladies are bad for hanging on until the last minute I suspect. I hope you get to the bottom of your bladder woes soon Taz, especially as December is fast approaching.

   for the up-date.  Your GP sounds great! 

 

[Taz2]

The most annoying thing is that it wasn't in the summer as then I wouldn't have wasted over four weeks of Autumn!!!!

Still got lots of miserable weather to look forward too Taz.

   days are gone now.


Glad for you that the infection has gone and your GP is moving things on. You will get answers soon I hope.

Glad to hear the infection has gone.

When your GP says keep on drinking what does she mean?
Water or .............. (hic) 

[Taz2]

Definitely not hic - water is good, weak squashes are good, tea is not too bad coffee is not too good. I have to aim for an extra one and a half litres a day. I keep a litre bottle of water in the fridge at home or at work and then at least I know I've drunk one litre.

I've not been out for four weeks so when I do have a glass of wine again up the pub it will be really strange.

An extra one and a half litres  - for how long?

How is your appetite?

[Joyce]

Next glass of vino may knock you for 6 Taz. Interested to know why tea isn't too bad but coffee is. Is it to do with caffeine?

[Limpy]

Perhaps tea has less caffeine than coffee?

[honeybun]

For every cup of tea or coffee they say you should drink an extra glass of water as all caffeine has a diuretic effect.

Keep drinking and flushing out those kidneys.

Guess there's always decaf. I switched Hubby's tea to decaf, he never noticed the difference. Me, I'm coffee but lucky if I drink one cup a month.

[Taz2]

I can't have decaf as the chemicals in it upset my stomach but I can see that it might be better for kidney function. I am drinking and drinking... lemon barley at the minute - oooh the excitement!!

Try it with a cherry & an umbrella Taz, that should liven it up a bit. 

[Taz2]

A bit.. but not enough 

[CLKD]

Poured over ice ?

I can't bare de-caff - rather miss out the middle woman and pour it straight down the sink!
