I have another goddamn bladder infection. If you're keeping score at home, I just had one on Thanksgiving, so that sucks. I'm gonna go gripe at the doctorb tomorrow; I'm told there are any number of awful things that could be causing this, which means any number of undignified diagnostic procedures I may need to endure. But I also read that having sex more than 4 times a month puts me in a 'high risk' group; baths and hot tubs are also supposed to be very bad. Considering I probably had sex in the hot tub 4 times in the last week or so, I'm just SOL. They also said eating sugar at night makes your pH favorable for growing the bad guys down there. Sheeeeeeiiit. I'm just doomed. Doomed, I say! *sob*

Try adding Vodka to the old fashioned cranberry juice solution...it clears it up faster. Not to say you should get wasted of course :-)

Does it really? I've read varying sources saying that if there's enough sugar in the cranberry juice to make it drinkable, it won't help the bladder infection. I'm about ready to give up and just get a titanium bladder installed. They can do that, right? Like they do with hip joints? Right? *whine*

I have a doctorb appt. at 3 today; we'll see what he says. A couple of infections ago he said 'maybe we should look into why you get these so often.' I didn't remind him, but I'm about to, now. :(

hmm Doctors aren't likely to back up the Vodka theory.....

Eh, they don't know everything.

I had an ear infection a couple of years ago, and it felt like someone was shoving a rusty hot letter opener into my brain (well, it did). Trusty doc prescribed some nice Darvocet. I call up Dad to whinge, and he says 'however much the doc said to take, take another one, and chase it with a shot of rum, vodka, gin, or something like that. You'll feel much better.' He was right!
