I have to go frequently and it hurts/stings. I hope my doctor can get me in today. I don’t want to go to the emergency room. But I really think I need antibiotics. The last UTI I had went to my kidneys. That was awful.

Yep UTI’s are not to be messed with. Does your health care cover the ER? It might be needed

If you have a history of kidney involvement I wouldn’t risk waiting too long. Especially in the summer heat

It’s not quite 5 am. The doctor opens at 8 am. Emergency is opened now, but I would have to wake my ex up.

If I were you I would wait till 8am and try and speak to your doc. But if you start getting flank pain, fever, chills or increased hallucinations go straight to ER

Do you have any cranberry juice? When I have symptoms, I get some. Helps flush bad stuff until you can get antibiotics.

I was on the ward as a patient one time and this guy in his 60s got admitted. He was having intense hallucinations and general delerium. He was feeding invisible cats and stuff.
Turns out he had a UTI which had caused all these hallucinations

No I don’t have any, but I am going to get some for the pantry in case this happens again.
Get some garlic capsules, too. I cleared up several UTIs with garlic.
I get them frequently. The worst I ever had went up and got my kidneys. So painful.
Hope you get to the doctor soon.

I had a roomy the first time I was hospitalized, who peed the bed and was delusional and it turned out she had a kidney infection and was in loads of pain.
I’ll see about it soon, I just went again and it didn’t burn as bad so I think the water is helping.

I do home remedies for mine unless they’re bad. I can’t mention one because it involves alcohol.

I would recommend you to see a doctor! I used to have one and my doctor prescribed me medicine for it. It went away pretty quickly.

You can pick up Azo’s or Cystex from a convenient store. They will relieve pain in thirty minutes, and can hold you over till you see a Dr. I always have some on me cause I get utis all the time, since I was a baby. They’re awful.
