Hi all
Thursday woke up with awful cystitis, burning wee every 5 mins, was even passing blood (actually thought I'd started my period but no!)
Fri woke with fever and shivers, rang GP who diagnosed kidney infection and started me on antibiotics (Cefalexin 500)
Felt bit better Sat but yesterday felt absolutely awful. The UTI symptoms have gone as has the fever but I am feeling absolutely exhausted, lower back ache on one side and very tearful. Appetite not great but am eating and making sure to drink lots.
Is this par for the course? I sent in a urine sample Fri to check I'm on the right antibiotics and I'm sure I am otherwise would probably feel a lot worse and still have a fever.
I have 3 young DC 6 and under so bed rest not possible but been on the sofa while they play lego and watching films. Of course because I had a temperature on Friday we're all self isolating and still awaiting results!
Any tips from fellow sufferers welcome! I'm probably going to take the week off work and hopefully that will get me back on my feet!
