hello Mumsnetters,
Am at my wits' ends. Out in Italy and now on day five of cystitis!! What's worse is that was supposed to be romantic break with my lovely boyfriend and renewed attempt at getting pregnant following miscarriage 18 months ago.
It's my own stupid fault as it was coming on just before we left on Monday, but I just stocked up on the over the counter stuff and thought that might do it. Oh no, no... I do tend to suffer, but only perhaps three times a year. Usually have to get ABs, but sometimes the powder stuff does the trick.
What's weird about this this time is that is has been both hideously painful and fairly mild from day to day since Monday. Last night no sleep at all and then fairly calm until this afternoon when I honestly thought we'd have to get an early flight back. I've taken about ten sachets over the last five days (first six in the first two days) and have more with me, but the instructions say do not take more than 6... Also running out ofnurofen and getting extremely desperate.
Also and apols for TMI, but my 'outside' bits are now getting sore too!! What the he'll is going on. Whole situation is obviously ruling out any chance of sex, and indeed me even being able to hold a conversation without looking pained!
Am hoping tomorrow it might calm down again but at the moment I'm like a cat on a blimmin hot tin roof. Am drinking gallons of water and peeing like mad. I kow the answer is probably no, but anyone got any brainwaves? Am nowhere near a doctor and not due back in UK til Tuesday.... Arghhhh!!!
With legs crossed in hopefulness!
