Well ain't I the badass?

Yesterday the suspected UTI stuff started in again so I messaged my doctor. She had me pop by to pee in a cup. Side note - WHY can't they put like a funnel or something for women? I can't be the only one with piss poor (heh, see what I did there?) aim?

I'm one of those people that can tell when something is off but I also am one of those people that think I'm just going to be treated as a hypochondriac even though I'm usually right. Well, go me, I'm right again. I kind of hoped they'd find a little bacteria to prove a mild UTI or something since I had no clue what the alternative would be.

The words "significant inflammation" were sent back by the doc. Not only is she sending over antibiotics for cystitis but also a UTI analgesic that she warned me will turn my pee bright orange. I messaged back that I should eat some beets and see what kind of fun happens. She thanked me for the laugh since she needed that.

I had her send it to a local pharmacy that I haven't used yet since I'd like to move my regular meds out of RiteAid so I'm not quite sure when they'll be done. I'll have to pester them maybe in half an hour or so.

Guess it wasn't just me thinking I was being dramatic and having old lady bladder. Whoopsie.

These are short term medications, correct? A week or two course? I'd take them all and not worry about the whole 'masking other symptoms'. I know I often still feel like crap for several days after starting antibiotics.

The second one is specifically only prescribed for a couple of days of use due to the fact that it can mask symptoms of infection

Ah, then you should almost be done with it by now! And once that is out of your system then it will no longer be masking any symptoms.
