PSA - Urinary tract infections

I'm amazed by how many women think that urinary tract infections are fine to just "clear on their own".  I've had several clients now DIE from urinary tract infections going septic.  That is entirely avoidable..

I use to have them all the time as a child and young woman, my mom just made me drink water and cranberry juice. Never knew it could be dangerous

I "cured" them with cranberry juice a time or two. I got one when I arrived in Japan and had to make my way to the local chemist in Osaka and try to explain to her what my ailment was...and she didn't speak any English. I finally thought about it and said "urinary" and she knew instantly. Apparently that's a universal word. Hooked me up with some pills and it went away. Then my doctor at home reamed me for taking a foreign drug. Really? I'm in a foreign country what was I supposed to do? That's when I first realized doctors (not all) are in bed with big pharma.

I've flushed them out with cranberry juice and lots of water.

But only if I caught it early enough.

I ended up in the ER once because of a bladder infecter.

It was horrible.

I used to get them a lot when I was younger...late teens, through my 20's.

I always ended up going to the doctor for meds. It was too painful, not to.

The last one I had, was when I was expecting Meredith. I thought I was in labor, so we went to the hospital.

Nope. UTI...causing labor pains. My doc put me on meds, and sent me home.

Talk about a fake out! I really thought I might hit a due date, in the right month.

Nope. Wrong again. LOL!biggrin
