Ok guess why I have not been tweeting or blogging regularly.
Actually I think people on Twitter already know.
It’s because I have a bladder infection T______T
It’s actually a UTI but I think it was extra serious because it reached my bladder T_______T
Got it on Monday, drank lots of water and by night it seemed to have cleared! But on Tuesday while I was at a meeting it came back with a vengeance T_T
So I took the day off and went to see the doctor. Doctor gave me a 5 day antibiotics course which I took glumly.
Wednesday first half of the day was better. But then suddenly in the evening when I was still at work I started feeling feverish and cold at the same time and even Guat Ching asked me why was my face so red T_____T Then when I went to pee holy bejesus I could have sworn there was a knife up my pepet T_____T
Got even more terrified when I saw blood in the toilet bowl *weeps
By then it was so painful that I was going to cry and I nearly did when Desmond talked to me T______T
Tim picked me up and I got into the car and started crying cos I was in so much pain. We tried looking for a doctor near my office but couldn’t find any 24 hour clinics 🙁 I was in too much discomfort to keep moving around looking for a doctor so we went home.
After that the constant pain started to ease up a bit but when I went to pee it still hurt like a muthafucking bitch 🙁 I called the doctor I’d seen and asked him why the medicine wasn’t working and he said he had a funny feeling I had a kidney stone WTF and said I should come in for an xray T_______T
My fever went on and off so I had to take another sick day on Thursday.
On Friday it still hurt whenever I peed! Couldn’t take it anymore went to see a panel doctor for my office. I showed her the antibiotics I’d been taking and she told me they’re the cheapest antibiotics ever FML T______T
She asked me how much I paid for them and when I told her she chortled seriously FML.
I asked her if it was possible that I had a kidney stone and she said not really because I don’t have a backache (which I’m supposed to if I have a stone)
Stupid doctor la seriously!!! Try to earn more money by giving me stupid cheap medicine!!!
Already he knows I cannot take muthafucking big pills!!! Some more prescribe me such shit big pills for FIVE freaking days when normally antibiotics are for 3!
(when I was six or seven I got hospitalized for bronchitis/pneumonia and had to take cups of pills after every meal and that time I hadn’t learned how to swallow them yet. Remember the nurse/mother scolding me whenever I couldn’t swallow the pills very traumatic and since then I developed a phobia for all pills and tablets and if they’re too big I would rather mash them up and drink them *coward)
Should have known! He’s my family doctor and we’ve always gone to him but when I was going to see him, I told Mummy Ooi that I don’t like going to his clinic cos it makes me feel sicker than I am. The seats in his waiting room are like wooden benches and it’s always full of sick looking people. Plus he doesn’t have lights WTF and relies on light from the doorway.
My mother said “last time used to be very bright wan. I think he turned off the lights to save money” WTF SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WANNA SAVE MONEY NO WONDER IF HE GIVES ME CHEAP DRUGS
Anyway I’ve started on new antibiotics today so hopefully they work T____T I hate being in pain every time I have to go to the toilet T_____T At its worst I would moan cos it was so painful which sounds so wrong if you’re in a public toilet wtf.
It better work 🙁 Cos I’m supposed to go on a cruise to Phuket tomorrow so if it doesn’t… I’ll die in the middle of the sea 🙁

I got this few years back, the only different is that I don’t pee with blood but my bladder system area damn painful. Pain till I can’t walk at all and yes I’ve fever on and off due to the infection.
What my family did was sent me to Assunta and the doc gave me a jap to control the pain as I was crying like mad due to the excursion pain. Next thing I went for X-Ray to see if the infection went to my kidney.
And finally results out it was UTI infection and doc gave me antibiotics drip which caused my arm blue black as the liquid too thick. I stayed for 2 nights and discharged with 1 week of superb strong smell and big antibiotics pills.
Get your mum to boil you barley with salt NO SUGAR. This type of barley is a bit purple-ish coz the leaves that your mum need to use for this barley is different from the normal barley we drank. The leaves is in purple colour, known as ‘Sang Suk Tei’ in chinese. I’m sure your mum will ask around to get the right leaves for the barley for you. Take it for 2 to 3 days. It doesn’t taste good coz it’s salty, but it’s good for you and help to speed up the recovery.
Ring me if you need more advise ya. Meanwhile take good care there, avoid oily food…go for more on veggie and fruits.
audrey, this should brighten up your day!

hey,
I think you are pregnant…
I think ural may not be strong enough for her. I had a not so serious UTI (peed a bit of blood), not painful but keep feeling like peeing and Ural was no help. Only got better on the antibiotic
hope you feeling better now. take care.
Yes, cranberry juice works like magic. Please buy two big bottles of cranberry juice. I think they’re pretty expensive in KL, last time I saw them they were like RM 25 or something (If I hadn’t mistaken) but it’ll be WORTH IT. Drink lots and lots of cranberry juice and you’ll be fine in a day or two. Get well soon!
Take GLO, very good.
To be fair a full course of antibiotics should be 5 days.Only azithromycin is for 3 days and its a very broad spectrum antibiotic. Its good to start from a simple antibiotic before tapering up to a really strong one due to fear of antibiotic resistance.But he should charge you accordingly la.If oral meds dun work and fever still spikes you may need intravenous antibiotics.
oh dear i have it all the time i damn bloody hate it T___T couldt sleep last night too cuz i had to go to toilet so many times!!!!!
let me know if u found the juice i osowan to buy
Usually strong antibiotics and lots of water shd do the trick but if it’s persistent and stuff, it can be a far trickier condition. Hope the antibiotic works for you and get well soon 😉
Aud,
Very sad to read you have a UTI.
UTIs can be very serious for women.
Please take all the anti-biotics.
If you have cranberry juice available, this juice is found to be effective at both treating and in the future preventing UTIs. What is important is that you have to take your antibiotics along with Cranberry juice.

Excerpt: can’t begin to count the number of times I have said to my patients with urinary tract infections (UTI’s):
Drink plenty of liquids, up to 10 glasses of clear liquid per day. Avoid caffeine during a bladder infection because it can increase bladder spasms. Drink juices with Vitamin C. Include cranberry juice because it prevents infection of the urinary tract by keeping the urine an acid Ph.
Now, based on newer research findings, I have changed my script of health information/instructions for my UTI patients. It goes like this:
Drink lots of clear liquids – up to 10 glasses per day. Avoid caffeine which can increase bladder spasms. Drink plenty of cranberry juice. It can be very helpful in preventing and treating a urinary tract infection. It works by preventing bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder where it can multiply and cause infection. Cranberry juice acts like a natural antibiotic to the urinary system. Not all juices do this….but cranberry juice and blueberry juice are two that do.
Get well soon!

get well soon audrey!
Yay!!! You survived! 🙂
Yikes. I hope you’re fine now 🙂
