THis has to be one of the worst....

things to have....a UTI. I cant stand it...I am so uncomfortable. The doctor gave me antibiotics but I still can't make it to work without feeling like I am going to explode on the train. How long will this last???

The BEST advice I can give...LOTS of cranberry juice...it works like a CHARM!!!

It usually takes a few days to feel better once you start the antibiotics. I agree with you that it is the worst feeling. Drink lots of water. I hope you feel better soon.

I got one on my HM

AZO Standard is OTC med that really helps with the burning.

Hope you feel better soon

UTIs.. ahh the memories..

I had them chronically for nearly 2 years back when I was 20... anyhow....

They finally put me on a 6 month regiment of Macrobid. I had this huge bottle. anyhow....after a surgical thing.. they stopped. anyway..

cranberry juice is good.. I like the clear one better.. but nothing takes that 'I want to explode and implode at the same time' feeling away..

Poor thing!

Wow, so sorry, those are sooo painful!!!

Get the 100% Cranberry juice without the added sugar. It is expensive but worth it. Also try to stay off caffeine.

Pyridium is a great OTC for the cramping and burning, might be the same as AZO Standard ?

take cranberry supplements from the health food store - caplets of concentrated powdered cranberry - they are the only things that worked for me....
