I'm pretty sure I'm going to die via UTI

[Daria Morgandorffer]

Seriously. My bladder feels like it's on fire and I can't go to urgent care until tonight because I had a new girl start today and I can't leave her alone. Azo is just taking the edge off so that I don't off myself. Bladder infections are only a smidge better than childbirth IMO.

Screw the new girl, go to the doctor now.

I'm sorry--those are miserable!

Can you get the stuff that dyes your pee orange (the name escapes me)?

Yea, that's Azo. Neon pee, minimal relief

[WOT?*]

Pantiliners are called for. And early release to see the doctor.

[MrsAxilla]

I feel your pain. Literally, I feel your pain. Fuck the new girl. Go get drugs now!! You'll feel better in a couple of hours!

[Daria Morgandorffer]

I leave in 36 mins anyway so it's not really worth pissing off my boss for at this point. He doesn't really "get" needing to leave for illnesses if you're not bleeding profusely. Fuuuuuuck.

[brookles]

Ughhhh those are the worst. I'm so sorry! I'm with MrsAxilla -- ditch the new girl and get to the doc, stat!

Am also feeling your pain. I get them all the time, and then afterwards it takes FOREVER for things to go back to normal. So I basically feel like I have to pee all the time. Wahooooo.

Being a lady with ladyparts can be a real drag sometime.

I think I'd rather have a depends so that I can just pee in the diaper every 24 seconds.

Have you taken ibuprofen? I take 800mg when I have a UTI and it really does help.

Really? Nope, haven't tried that. Off to gobble some.

And your sig made me feel better momentarily.

I was going to recomment tylenol - that's what my doc told me yesterday (advil goes through your kidneys so it doesn't work as well). Lucky for you, you can take BOTH at the same time, so go get some tylenol too.

I'm killing time waiting for my Dr's office to open for this exact problem. We can be in pain and miserable together.

[marie427]

Ugh. If you can't leave now, hopefully the next 20 minutes goes by quick and you can get relief. Feel better!

[heyjude]

Don't fuck around with an UTI; go to the doctor!

[Daria Morgandorffer]

I just realized that before I get to the doc, I have to walk a mile to the train and then ride the train for 40 minutes. FML. Unless someone knows of an urgent care center on the north side of the Chicago loop.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Oh I have so been there and I am so so sorry.

[Deleted]

I'm sure it's too late, burin the future check for a minute clinic at Walgreens. I bet they could treat UTIs.

And as much as peeing hurts, drink tons of water. And cranberry juice if you can get your hands on it. It will make you feel a lot better.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

Ah, dear sweet Macrobid. It's times like these that I really contemplate what it meant to be a woman pre nineteenth century.

Take the ibuprofen. 800 mg. That's what I was prescribed. I also got tramedol and naproxen, but the ibuprofen is what works.
