UTI and miserable on new years

10 replies

I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I have a UTI and a fever with it, but I don't feel so unwell I can just sleep, just too unwell to get off the sofa. I'm bored and miserable and I told my boyfriend to go to a party because I don't want him to have to be miserable on new years just because I am. Now I'm lying here alone and crying. This sucks so hard.

Chemists can now prescribe antibiotics for a UTI, might be the fastest way of getting comfortable

I have antibiotics - started yesterday. I'm not in pain any more, but feeling feverish and sad

Go to local chemist especially with a temperature you need some treatment

Robinsons lemon barley can take the edge off the discomfort. Worked for me until the antibiotics kicked in.

Thanks, I think I'm mainly feeling sad about being alone on new years. I expect the fever is making me irrational. I will survive.

He could have stayed in and looked after you ; you could have snuggled up & watched a nice film together?

Well last night I fell asleep very early. Honestly I'm not that selfish. I'll not be awake at midnight. It's fine, I'm just looking for somewhere to say I'm feeling awful without having to say it to him and make him feel guilty. He honestly deserves to go out and have fun with his friends. I don't resent it. I just can't help feeling a bit sad and lonely, but I don't feel rejected. Iyswim.

Yeah I do get it and have done similar myself in relationships while also knowing I would have stayed in if the situation were reversed...

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon & don't get woken up by a drunken bf later on!

Flowers rotten luck. Excellent username for the situation though!

Can you find a film or box set you love that your boyfriend wouldn't care for?

I know it will seem like a supreme effort OP but if you have a Holland & Barrett nearby go and get some d-mannose, it might not work quickly enough to save tonight but it's honestly miracle stuff for UTI's and should make you a lot more comfortable/less miserable.
