well off work with kidney infection now been taken of another lot of antibiotics because of the side affects :(
& been told i have a trapped nerve in my neck so have had a awful headache :lol:
I am hoping this infection doesn't come back because I haven't taken the full course of antibiotics :cry:
My doctor has given me a sample bottle in case it does come back, which I have to take back for them to send to the hospital,
I haven't heard if there is anything wrong with the last sample taken at A&E I think they are waiting to see if i get another infection then do something about it :roll:
anybody out there good at shooting
but cant pay sorry

    not a fan of guns, but i'd be willing to drop a large brick on your big toe to keep your mind off your neck??? ;)
    seriously though, hang in there, today is not great but tomorrow will be better hopefully. have you tried deep cold gel for your neck? i find it very helpful for back pain(muscles), maybe worth a try?
    take care

    Hi there.

    Usually when they take a urine sample they send it for culture. This means they take it to a lab to see if bacteria grows and what antibiotics it is sensitive to, meaning which ones will kill the infection. If you have not heard back in a week, you should be ok. Just make sure you drink lots and lots of fluids. make sure you are passing urine too, the clearer the better. I had Grade V kidney reflux so I know how awful these infections can be. If you continue or start to get flank pain, pain in your side that only feels better when you massage it, call your Dr as this could be a sign the infection has not cleared. Take care x

    Hi Sue
    Sorry to hear your still having problems, i'm in the same boat it took 5 months to get shut of the last infection. As you know it disrupts your treatment and sets you back. As for Shooting Bisley 5 times. keep your chin up and take care.

    Sue,
    Being a paid mercenary, in the shooting trade isn't good business these days, the MP's have got in on the backstabbing act and taken over! :mrgreen:

    Try a warm wheatbag on your neck, some soothing classic fm, a nice cuppa tea.....


    8) Its a grin, honest!

    Dear Sue

    I am so sorry to hear that life is not at all good at the moment for you. There is nothing I can say that will help and I definitely will not shoot you - you would not really want that anyway. It will all come out in the wash but for now, Sue, you have to be patient and look after number one. Life will still go on around you. All will be well in the end.

    Sending you lots of love and huggies,

    Elna x (())

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Thanks wren I don't know about the brick, but I am open to any ideas :wink: It's good to talk to others thank you :) for your message I hope you are keeping well Sue

    Eckstar thank you for the info, a good friend of mine told me the same thing about the samples,
    Thats what is brilliant about this site the support from everyone in the same boat
    you cheered me up yesterday with your lovely story about your hubby :wink: take care Sue

    Hi Cris thanks for the hugs, god you're strong :lol: it must be those sheep, I'm trying to keep on top of this but it's hard,
    but hey there are hundreds of people worse off than me so you have to keep smiling don't you :lol: I hope you have a good day take care Sue

    Sue I think I could drink for Britain at the moment, but I must admit
    I didn't drink very much yesterday so the pain was mostly self inflicted yesterday :roll: but I have learnt my lesson & I am going to try for a record today :wink:
    thank you take care Sue

    God Colin I hope they don't keep me going on like this for to long I wish they had taken the blasted thing out 15 years ago when there was a problem,
    I've had lots of water infections over the years but this is knocking the stuffing out of me I can tell you,
    I seem to be getting everything else on top, but has you can see I still try to laugh it off with my post a joke, you have had a rough time with it too by the looks keep your chin up :wink: thank you Colin take care

    Air wave I will try the wheat bag thank you for that,
    I feel a bit like that song we sing in nursery
    Head, shoulders , knees, & toes,
    but adding everything else,sorry don't know where that came from,
    Thank you for sending me a message I will try any thing, & I am definitely going to drink more today & try to get in control of this pain thank you take care Sue

    Thank you you Elna I know I am impatient at times, it's just when you think you are copping with the arthritis well trying to, something else shows their ugly head, still these things happen I suppose, it's like I said earlier there is always someone worse off than us isn't there,
    I hope you are OK & all the family, Laura & John have gone to work off for the day, I bet they are glad to be away from misery guts here :roll: i try to not show how miserable I am feeling I tend to read a book or read whats on the forum just to keep me focused if that makes sense
    any way Elna I'm going on a bit I hope you have a lovely day
    take care Sue x

    Hi Sue,

    You go on as much as you need to cus sometimes it helps to just say 'this is really getting to me' and though we can't stop it from doing that we have all been there so all know where your at.

    I shall keep my fingers crossed that tomorrow you start to feel better and I shall just pat you rather than give you a hug...... :wink::lol: you take care and let us know how your doing else we worries. Luv Cris x
