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 🙁

take care and speedy recovery! 🙂
hey audrey,
Hope everything will be better. Rest more 🙂
UTIs are the WORST, and if it goes up to your bladder it’s even worseeeee! 🙁 The best cure is super strong antibiotics, lots of sleep and lots of water. Get well soon!
i hate it when u have uti then then i bend also cannot bend wtf!!! Damn pain lor T_T I think it’s back again now cos it hurts damn bad when i bend (thats how i determine if i have uti wtf)
OMG! I had that before, it was fcuking painful and I peed blood!
The antibiotics are very helpful. Try to drink more barley and radish soup,it helps =)
get well soon!
Speedy recovery… so u can take great pix in Phuket 😀
I’ve had UTI like 10 times before FML >___<
You know what works for me? seriously, no kidding?
CRANBERRY JUICE.
The pure, undiluted, unadulterated,the most sour thing on earth.
But it freaking works.
Whenever I feel an onset of UTI coming on, I faster go and buy cranberry juice and drink about 3 small cups a day.
I tell you where you can find it. In Malaysia, damn hard to find the pure ones. Only Guardian and GNC have it (maybe now got more la, but I save your time, you can go and find in these two shops).
The pure ones are quite thick and dark looking. DO NOT buy the ones that are diluted, sugar-added type. Its about 70-80RM I think, but I think its sooo worth it.
GO BUY IT ALREADY NOW NOW NOW. You can thank me later 😛
P.s.: Dont forget to take yoghurt to replenish the good bacteria, now that you are on so many antibiotics. I always get yeast infection after UTI cos of all the antibiotics FML. But now I clever ady. Oni take cranberry juice, no need antibiotics liao. 😀
Hello Audrey~
First time commenting 🙂

Hi audrey, I also hate it when I have UTI. I understand how painful it is..!!!Get well soon, drink lots lots of water and pee more often (so the bacteria will go completely) … <3

i really feel very sorry for you and hopefully all these sickness and pain would subside asap… i can’t really give any advice here cuz i’m a stranger to these but i would definitely pray for your health..
Aww…Take care and get well soon ya!

btw, that pic i shown u in twitter, omg seriously i never seen ayu looks so much like you weh!!
Gosh..

Hey sweetie,
Go and get URAL from the local pharmacist. It really helps.
And yes eat cranberries or drink cranberry juice,it helps a lot.
I know how bad the pain can be, I was rushed to the hospital middle of the night for this in melb.
Really do try the URAL (Green packaging and its like Eno powder kind thing, cost below RM20)
Get well soon
Cheers,
Jappuffy
so sorry for you 🙁 drink more water and take care of your pepet!
I had it few times a year
and last month it turned out
to be extremely terrible
just like you..The doctor gave me 3days antibiotic only and I got better 1day after I took the med.
so don’t worry and take care!

jappuffy: ya i did take cranberry juice but i dont think it was the pure kind:( and ural totally didn't work for me FML 🙁
chris: hahaha thanks chris!
Alamak, I dont remember the brand la, but in Guardian its usually hidden at some obscure place or at lower/lowest shelves, and comes in a dark brown glass bottle with a red+yellow label. Most likely found at the health foods section.
In GNC, just ask the employee there 😉 If I remember correctly, the GNC one was slightly cheaper methinks, but the Guardian one felt a lot more “pure” coz slightly more pekat.
Good Luck!
wow that doctor should get his licensed revoked!!! or at least a fine.
I hope you’ll get well soon!
Oh ya, forgot to say, drink barley water and soups with white radish in them. My mum used to make em for me <3 Otherwise, you can go to those chinese herbal shops to ask for the herbs so you can boil your own soup. They will know what to give you if you say “to improve pee” 😀 😛
I FORGOT TO ASK U !! DID U DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE !!??!
Babe, get well soon. I had that 2 months ago and yes, I can totally understand the pain. Like peeing + bending forward to ease the pain. I hate that too.
Barley,cranberry & orange.
Drink more especially barley.
hey audrey seriously cranberry juice work..! awwww….rest more~
wahlau! so pain one ah? ish~ then u travellin’ summore must take extra care <3
Had that once.. pain as hell
Get well soon <3 *hugs
i think u look like gigi leung’s smile
whimsical : i almost had de same fate as yours =( and i’m afraid it will lead to kidney infection one day if it continues like this (i had twice this year FML)=.=
whimsical & audrey : if u girls don’t have cranberry juice with you, try sarsi =) don’t add on ice or put in fridge. if u sense UTI coming, just drink one can of sarsi and surprisingly, it helps =)(but it only works when u start to have UTI) and audrey, i had UTI on Tuesday but i recovered de next day =) hope you get better and enjoy your vacation tml <3 one more thing, did de doctor asked u to take de “Urinary Alkalinizer(U-Lite Effervescent Granules)”? that one is quite good too =)
eh ya why u never drink cranberry juice??? remember moho wtf
omg i hope it gets better!!!!!1 stupid i hate that doctor also lor last time barry go see him and i went and his face like no emotions one!! yerr summore cheat people!
U can get cranberry juice from Cold Storage as well…under the organic food section…
errr.. i will say i only found that photo and that very angle of her looks so much like you so far. hehe will alert you when i finf another one ahahah!
for the first time i could totally understand how u feel…!
i went for a trip with my friends and throughout the trip didn’t drink alot of water and then…. infected! T-T
doctor told me to drink barley a lot.. and it worked! i drank bali the whole day for few days…
u should try..
hope u get well soon. hugs.
hey dear,
just to let you know, UTI is actually a recurring thing. happens annually? so when it does again, what you should do is to get a pain killer injection from the doctor ( because the pain &#(&&$*#* insane ) and then get the antibiotics
take care on your holiday 🙂
Oh dear…hope you recover really really soon coz it sounds very painful. =(
And enjoy your trip!
get well soon 🙂
it’s my first time leaving a comment here. i had the same experience like urs abt one year ago. whenever i think of the pain, i frown. it’s really terrible! T.T i went to see a doctor and he gave me medicine and one injection. and i think the injection works! the excruciating pain all gone the next day! i think you should go for an injection if your situation is still not getting any better.
get well soon! =)
p/s: love ur blog =D
pls get well soon and have fun in Phuket! 🙂
hmmmm cruise to phuket soo nice <3
YEAH bladder infection tell me about it. i know that pain! i had that last sem right before my exam =___=
cranberry juice really works … get a packet and bring it to ur cruise! hope u’ll get better soon 🙂
Oh my Buddha, you used “pepet” with reckless abandon!
Now I can sorta emphatize with UTI patients. Imma take preventive measures by drinking cranberry juice from now on!!!
😀 Thank you for blogging about this experience! 😛
Hi Audrey,
I used to have this in the past. Not sure about you but I know the root cause to mine. I’m not sure whether you moderate the comments before you allow it to appear on your site. In case you don’t, I will not tell you why now. Drop me a note if you want to know the reason behind my own UTI problem. It’s not something I’m selling, btw. Just want to share in case you are getting it due to same root cause.
Ciao.
Omg love, I just saw your post! Hope you have a speedy recovery ok! *hugs*
hi aud,
hope you’re getting better. will keep you in my prayers.
Audrey so sorry to hear this! Do get well soon and don’t die!
audrey, take URAL + plenty of water. works for me everytime 🙂 my 2 cents: try not to pee with an empty bladder coz that will hurt like hell! drink lots of water (to make your bladder full) before peeing and drink lots more after. get well soon!!
