    Hi Jaspercat,

    Hope the antibiotics start to work before the infection takes hold.

    Fingers crossed.

    No meth! No meth! No meth! Whoooopeeeeee!

    Poor kidney - ouch. Poor kidney - ouch. Poor kidney - ouch.

    MO METH! MO METH! NO METH!

    Have I got the tone about right?

    Seriously, I hope you feel better soon. Take care jaspercat. DD

    Gawd jaspercat :shock:

    kidney infection ain't good, so I hope the antibiotics kick in very quickly.

    drink plenty H2O... barley water is supposed to be good for the kidneys...so my mum always told me. :wink:

    hope it doesn't disturb your sleep tonight...but I suspect you'll be trailing back and fore to the littlest room in the house. :roll:

    let us know how you are jasperc

    Oh Jaspercat hope it clears up soon and those antibiotics do the trick. Enjoy your meth free week - sounds like this is the silver lining to the cloud. Drink lots of water and if the wee stings drink cranberry juice. Good job GP on the ball.

    Hello Jaspercat,
    How are you today? Not so good having the infection. Fingers crossed that it is easier in the next few days.
    Bet you are fed up of drinking by now :(
    Pity that it is only soft drinks. :D

    Take care,

    Hi, a little better today, just very tired, kept putting off going to the little room but ended up getting 4 times, I am quite surprised to be on antibiotics as the water sample was clear, but it has taken hold I think, thanks for all the good wishes, very kind of you all love Jaspercatxx

    Oh Jaspercat

    I had a kidney infection a handful of years ago and it was awful so I cannot imagine you having to suffer alongwith all your other stuff.

    Sending positive thoughts that it clears up quickly.
