    Default My insides are falling apart ..maybe

    well not litterally but my life has come to a stand still im so down

    I have the worst UTI like I feel as if im bursting for a wee right now constantly like someone is sitting on my stomach an then when I go for a wee and it stings like hell an im starting to pee blood.Ive had alot of cranberry juice and I got this powder stuff to add to water and it helped loads but I had the last one this morning and now its just gotten worse and on the packet it says to go to the doctors if that happens but my doctors isnt open till monday and I was meant to be going away to see my BF who I havent seen in a month and a half

    And I really dont know anything about irratble bowel syndrome but theres something wrong there aswel because usually id go for a poo once a day and for the last week and a half its been 2-3 or even 4 times a day especially soon after I have meals and sometimes ill suddenly get stomach ache and really need to go to the toilet. I feel so down I actually cried about it earlier I know thats pathetic lol does anybody know about things like this Ive never had this before?

    (my spelling, punctuation and general grammer is really off sorry)

    Also, look up Chrone's Disease. (sp?) I have a friend who had that and it was hell.

    Although, if it's just this particular week, it could be stress. The body stresses out just as much as the mind!

    I really don't want it to be that as I know theres nothing that could make it better, I hope its something to do with stress but I don't think Im that stressed..slightly worried about things in life but Im sure Ive been in worse places before.

    If you're peeing blood I don't think you really have any other choice at this point except to get yourself to a doctor STAT. I've known a couple people who dawdled about going to the doctor after they started peeing blood and they both ended up in the hospital for several days.

I once had a uti a few years ago and a similar thing happened and in the symptoms of a uti on google it says that so I didnt worry too much its just very very uncomfotable or am I being way too laid back about this its just two in the morning and I didnt think it was worth like going to a hospital for..what was wrong with those two people?

    Candida can cause UTI's and irritable bowel syndrome. I used to suffer from both a lot until I got my yeast problem under control. If I eat sugar and grains I get both. Problem is that the treatment for UTI's is generally anti biotics which will then make irritable bowel syndrome worse so it's catch 22. Right now you need to get it sorted. Are you in the UK? Go to the hospital hun if it's really hurting you. Then once you get that sorted, sort your diet out. xx

    They both had UTI's that they tried to treat at home with cranberry juice/pills. I'm not trying to say that never does work because often it does. But I guess it wasn't enough for their case. By the time they did go to the doctor their kidneys had become infected.

    I don't know if it makes a difference how much blood there is or not. But I'd be very careful at this point if I were you! I used to get tons of UTI's. I had great health insurance at that point so I always went to the doctor long before it got to the point where I was peeing blood. From what I understand from talking to the doctors about it so many times, it can progress very quickly to the point where it's very dangerous and expensive to treat. I would go to the hospital tomorrow if I were you. I'm worried for you.

    Our health care plan is different than in america so its not really a money issue about it becoming expensive. Ive had it since weds afternoon, I will see how I feel in the morning and if its still as bad I wil try get in contact with a proffesional.

    Get yourself some virgin coconut oil and take 3 spoonfuls a day, buy some probiotics (3lac is the best on the market), cut out sugar and grains. Eat lots of protein, veggies and garlic. Drink coconut milk. Take Olive leaf extract. I promise this will make you feel better. Your symptoms are exactly what I used to have.

    If I were you, I would totally go to the Doctor. I had the same symptoms as you and it ended up being a kidney infection. And, they had to put me on IV antibiotics. I had tried the cranberry juice thing prior to going to the dr. Also, for IBS they give you anti-anxiety pills I had that too. And, the Dr gave me belladonna which has phenobarbital. The dr.explained that once you calm down, your stomach calms down. HTH Hope you get better.

    Then get your ass to a doctor! UTI's are really not a thing to screw around with. You don't want it to travel up to your kidneys.....that's a serious infection waiting to happen.

    I had a UTI about 3 months ago. Of course it was around 11:00 pm when I started peeing small amounts of blood and the pain became pretty unbearable. I went to the Emergency Department immediately and got meds even though I was a little drunk and high. If you wait, the chances are it's only going to get worse.

    Get to the doctor... urinalysis and ultrasound of bladder/kidneys to make sure its a bacterial infection and not kidney stones causing the blood. You will probably need some norfloxacin to treat the UTI.

    Yes, my bf has stomach issues when he stresses.... definitely go to the doctor about the UTI! It may help your stomach issues as well just by alleviating the stress.

    Totally agree with all the others - a quick trip to the docs and you will be prescribed antibiotics for your UTI and will be cleared up in no time

    I have Crohns disease and there are heaps of other things I was tested for before I was confirmed for that so don't stress about that either.
    Could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Coeliacs, Ulcerative Colitis etc ....or nothing at all related to these!
    Defninately better to get things checked out though - all these things tend to get worse if left and it could save you a lot less pain in the long run.

    BTW, just a helpful hint as to what I finally found that worked to keep UTIs away for good- CRANACTIN!. You can get it at any health food store. It's more pure and concentrated than cranberry juice. I used to get several UTIs a year, but ever since I started taking a couple cranactins every couple of days, I haven't had a single one.

    Go to a doctor STAT if this doesn't clear up in two days - I had a UTI infection a few years ago I covered up with cranberry pills, and it ended up spreading to my kidneys putting me in the hospital for 7 days! No fun! I will never mess around with these again.

    Thanks for the replys. I went to the doctor today and got prescribed trimethoprim and told to take two a day for the next few days so Ive taken one today so far and now I have a red itchy rash on both my arms. The medicine she gave me jus came in a box with instructions of how to take them not like side effects or anything to watch out for so I dont know if its to do with the trimethoprim but Ive just put sudacrem all over my arms..my body is so stupid

    ^awww so sorry. I know how it feels when your whole body seems to be falling apart. Happened to me last year. I suggest googling the anti-candida diet or picking up a book in your local bookstore. I had tons of similar issues last year all at once and did that diet for a couple months and I didnt get sick for 6 months after (still only had one UTI which Im pretty sure was cause from sex anyway). So really I havent been sick or had any skin or other issue for about 9 months now. Its worth a read. Im back on the sugar now, but I will do it again soon just to detox.

    GO TO URGENT CARE CLINIC OR ER if you are peeing blood like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Speaking from experience here. DO NOT rely on cranberry juice!!!!!!! You likely have a kidney infection by now. Cranberry juice is for 1)prevention and 2) VERY mild uti. It should NEVER be used as a sole treatment of a severe uti like the one you describe. You are putting your kidneys at risk, and you need antibiotics right away. I "treated" my uti with cranberry juice and ended up in the hospital with IV antibiotics due to severe kindey infection. Not properly treated, the bacteria in your bladder migrate up to your kindeys. You kind of need those
    /end nurse spiel

    Feel better soon *hugs*

    Sorry to vent, but I am so tired of hearing people say "just drink cranberry". It CAN help in some situations (see above) but is over-used as a home remedey in general. Antibiotics will clear you right up.

    Red itchy rash is probably an allergy to the med. Your doc needs to know about this, as it can worsen.

    The problem with antibiotics is that it also kills the bacteria that keeps yeast levels down, I'd wager that the rash on your arms is a yeast rash as I got the exact same thing last time I was on antibiotics. I second what others have said about the candida diet and stay away from sugars and carbs and eat plenty of vegetables, and lots of garlic. It's not the most fun diet in the world but it will really help while you're on the antibiotics. And definitely some sort of probiotic such as yogurt would help bring the good bacteria back. The yeast rash I had ended up covering my entire body and it was a miserable time.
