Yep, fluey symptoms are pretty normal. And it may last quite a while. Take it steady and don't try to go 'back to normal' too quickly. Antibiotics should kick in quickly if they're right for your bug, but expect to feel quite run down for a while.
And drink loads and wee often. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks wid! Saw doc on fri who did a urine test. Went with very vague symptoms. Pain in my tummy and back which I'd had a while. Feel bloody awful today. Can't do anything apart from sit or lay. How long does it take? I have two little ones and while hubby is amazing he will be at work tomorrow x x
I've had one recently, which took 2 courses of ABs to clear, although started feeling slightly better at the end of the first (5 days). I also had a really nasty one a couple of years ago, which had me in hospital on a drip for 3 days and off work for 2 weeks.
It developed very quickly when I was pregnant - I'd gone in with back pain in the evening and everything seemed normal, so pain was put down to posture. Developed shaking and fever a few hours later. Went back to hospital in the morning where I threw up on their floor and was admitted and put on the drip straight away. Everything was ok in the end, but a rather scary and painful experience.
Have they done a test to see whether the bug is sensitive to the antibiotics your getting?
Ok so I have been today with another sample, not as bad but still showing infection so they have changed my anti bs. BUT I have all my symptoms back, indigestion, feeling uncomfortable in my upper tummy area, and a horrible feeling in my hip like a hot liquid running?? Doc ringing me back again but so fed up now x
