I'm going to the doctor today

Fortunately living in the UK we have the NHS (although sometimes it's more of a lottery as to when you get seen and the care you get from them) so we don't have to pay which is just as well! I will be keeping everything crossed for you my friend, I think it's the not knowing which is the worst scenario, keep us posted and hope you get it sorted out quick without a big hefty bill, hugs x

I haven't seen my doctor in awhile but I should get my blood checked. Hope you are feeling better after you see your doctor as I have insurance. Good Luck and I'll be thinking of you getting a big shot in the rear LOL j/k take care.

This is where I am so glad of the NHS here in the UK! I am so sorry that you are suffering from this sweet sis - I have been there many times with Niamh and I know it isn't pleasant! I think it is a disgrace that in one of the richest countries in the world people cannot get medical treatment cos they cannot afford it! I will be worrying and praying for you my lovely twin. The last time I was at the drs was Friday for a check up on my recovery from back surgery and it did not cost me anything - I am very lucky cos I was in a private hospital where the operation and care would have cost me upwards of £10,000 but I was sent there by the nhs as I had already been waiting too long and had my surgery canceled! Big Hugs xxxx

I do hope that you feel better soon, and that you can get into the clinic! I know how u feel about that I had to go through that a few years ago, it was not very pleasant. i do hope that things work out.

Well, with needing surgery, I have been to the Dr quite a bit lately. Wish I could take a break!

Oh no, those are so painful. Do not put off going, though. I had one of those infections and got blood poisoning. I was very very sick. Go to the ER before that happens to you, snow.

I'm thankful to be living in Canada! The waits are long, but everyone is entitled to medical aid regardless of income. I can't understand why people are not more important than money? I hope you can find a solution to your health problem Princess? Use that pretty brain of yours! LOL! Take care!

I've actually never been to the doctor or at least not since I was VERY young.
We don't have health insurance and I don't even know if we did have health insurance how often I'd actually go.

I hope that you can get fit in or rather that you got fit in today and the presciption wasn't that much.

the last time was an operation. and yes it did cost a lot, even if if i have hmo, it did no cover all the expenses...
try drinking plain water, at least 3 liters a day. its uncomfotable, i know, with going in and out of the cr but in a couple of days, your symptoms should ease. but dont put off your trip to the clinic. we only have two kidneys, take care of it. my mom did have inf before, and she put hold off long enough until there was no solution but to remove her rt kidney.inf can be because of many things, one is kidney calculi. i hope i hav convince u to go see ur doctor

If you can drink lots of cranberry juice because its good for that. Best of luck to you in feeling better soon..

I had the same problem as you and found out it was because I was drinking to many beverages with sugar in them, like tea, sodas etc. Drink lots of water and flush out your kidneys. Drinking cranberry juice will promote urination but it wont flush you out.
